I have been looking for a nice knife for a while and have been looking here for a while. The Ingram's caught my eye and I started researching. Low and behold Gene's shop is approx 11 miles from where I work! Yep, called him up and swung by today. Needless to say, handled several knives approx settled on a #3 bird and trout. He had 4 knives unsold so I scooped one up. I am going back Thursday to pick it up. Super nice fella and lots of nice hardware. Will post a pic when I get it home.

lot of knife talent in that area.
Curious to see the 3. Always cool to actually meet the people doing the work.
Never seen a #3 B&T. I have a #4 and have seen pictures of the #1 but wasn't aware of another B&T model. I'd like to see that, I am really fond of the B&T genre because of their versatility. I've used my #4 on squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, turkey and deer. Does it all really well. And yes, Gene is a really good guy and an incredible craftsman.

It'd cost me a lot of money to make the rounds in that neck of the woods.
Never saw one either. Looking forward to the pictures. What handle material did you get?
Well what do ya know, a #3! I see the difference in the handle design. I like it!
Of all the knives I handled, this one fit my hand 'like a glove' so to speak. As soon as I picked it up, I knew!
Took possession today. Beautiful knife, should provide years of service. He also has a B&T #4 that is very nice, tempting! Thank you, Mr Ingram.
