I have a Ingram bird-trout coming soon; didn't purchase it for birds or trout  but for big game, almost looks like a smaller fillet knife, but with a little sturdier stock 3/32"- I'll let you know what it weighs when I get it ![[Linked Image from imgur.com]](https://imgur.com/TFFklZ2.jpg) I like that B&T Warden. Looking forward to your update. I mainly carry two Vickies in the pack and don’t worry about losing them (sub $20). Hard to argue the economics and hold an edge well. Baldy mountain forge i n Lincoln Mt puts out some excellent light weight knives similar to this. Great steel that holds an edge forever. I love mine.

If I had to pay $20 a pop to have a knife sharpened, I'd be broke in a week.....

Hi atse I've tried to find a web page for a knife-making company called Baldy Mountain Forge but I couldn't find one. Could you post a link to a web page, a phone number, or an address please? Thanks in advance, John

nice looking knife, not familiar with 52100 steel, but from I've been able to read, sounds pretty good- doesn't mention thickness, I think I'll email them to find out

Many thanks, AKduck! Although I am afraid that link may cost me more money... a common risk here at the 'Fire!  John

Sorry, I didn't get back to you guys. I was out and busy today. Rick is a great guy,and a great craftsman. He gave me a one of his really light knives, for all of my excursions into the Bob. That knife sharpens easily, and really holds an edge for a long time. I can easily break down and debone a couple of deer without sharpening, and it is still sharp.

Not sure if Rick still has his hand made leather sheaths, but if he does, get one with your knife. They are the best I have seen, and they have a clip on one side that gives it a lot of options. I think my knife was one of the first front range models he made.,I have had it 8 or 10 years.

buyknives.com got back to me- blade thickness is 0.09"- basically 3/32" which is probably right at the sweet spot for a knife that is going to be breaking down big game animals in the field

I love Ingram knives, nothing fancy, just clean simple working blades, with class...

Would love to have an Ingram. Been using some knives from Dale Howe (Howe Mtn) and they're excellent. Bob ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/kV3PY07.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nhgNKmX.jpg)
