Photobucket has ruined all the great content we had on here for figuring out what to have Gene build the next time your name comes up. It sure would be nice if everyone would post pics and descriptions.

I really like the bottom knife, simple and perfectly executed.
I have only one by Gene. He made it special for me. It is an enlarged version of his Sodbuster design. He called it the "Big Boy Sodbuster". It is very good as an all around belt knife, and particularly good at processing dead animals.

Straight forward, simple lines. Very utilitarian. Nice knife!
Sorry for resurrecting an older thread but I thought it was useful for those of us looking to order an Ingram knife. I have a ways to go until my name comes up but I’m enjoying looking through pics of his work.
Below is a sodbuster, vintage paper micarta, black liners and stainless pins.
Had a lot of Mr. Ingram's knives over the years but this is my favorite pair for deer. Crappy pic but it was easy to get to.....Yellow Jacket and #1 semi, yellow G10, black pins, black liners, S30V, kydex.
I'm surprised more makers don't put a sharpening choil on their knives.
In a hunting knife it isn't a big deal, but in a bushcraft, fighter, hard use type it has been a weak link so most stopped doing it. Phill Hartsfield did a good study on it after a Mercenary down in South America was shot by a .308 and the bullet hit the blade right between the transition from blade to handle. It cracked across. Phill Replaced the knife at no charge. So he stopped putting Choil on his knives. If I remember right that was sometime around 1992.
A choil is a good place for hang ups. Just my personal opinion.
A choil does not give you a longer cutting edge, just a notch that can be hung up on in some uses. Also as noted above could be a weak point in the structure that does not necessarily need a 30 cal incident to fail, but if properly rounded should be ok. They do look nice though. Again, just my 2 cents.
"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein
At Khe Sanh a sign read "For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected never knew".

Agree. I don't care for it. But if a nice knife has one I wouldn't pass up buying just because it did.
I'll keep that in mind next time I buy a knife to use when moonlighting as a mercenary soldier dodging .30 caliber bullets. WTH...?
I love when people don't have a clue what they are talking about so have to resort to comments like yours. Probably a good 90% of the designs in knives you use, have been developed from things you don't and or won't ever do. But you still get to benefit from it. But please keep on truckin, I am laughing.
Never had a single problem with a 'hang up'. But then, I didn't fall off the fugging turnip truck yesterday. The guys with hang ups, I'd bet are the same guys that can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

I love when know-it-alls talk about why their way is the ONLY way ( and saying it's so, because a 'maker' says so), and then resort to commenting on a thread that they'd be better served just STFU. But, I've never been accused of being able to keep MY mouth shut, either......

As could just as easily be switched to say the same thing for guys that can't sharpen a knife that doesn't have a choil.

I love it when p_ssies get their feelings hurt by the truth. Man up or shut up! By the way please show me where I said it was the only way! Matter of fact you can't f_cking read obviously because I stated I would buy a good knife that had one! You must have been run over by the turnip truck.
the innernet badass expert has spoken.... I'ma real skeered of saying another word. So much so, that I will go into self-ban/shutup mode, to keep MCH from calling me a p_ssy and hurting my little feelers again.

You seem touchy and on edge. Let me guess, friendship issues?
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
So what is it to you if I go 'commando'? I ain't the one who called GC 'clueless'. The guy likely has used a knife/cut more meat than you, or most guys on here ever will. Like I said, some folk should just stfu instead of, oh never mind.....

Assuming always gets you in trouble. Funny thing is you read my PM. You saw where I gave you my number and said give me a call if you have a problem. So cat got your tongue! What a P-ssy. Keep on charging you justice warrior!
Don't flatter yourself. If that is what you want to believe, go for it. Tell me, do you have any Ingram pics to add to the thread, or just the cool mercenary stories and choil busting bullchit? Maybe say a few words on how Gene's wares are complete garbage because they ain't the latest/greatest super-steels? Your turn....

Don, as you know, it's wasted time and energy and isn't going to change anything.
Yeah, I know. But I didn't have anything better to do when we was done pheasant hunting. Watching MCH blather on about choils, cluelessness, mercenaries, makers who don't choil, and lackluster grinds, all before he even posted a pic on a pic thread was well worth the wasted time. And I didn't expend all that much energy typing with one finger.....
Anyone know what handle material that one is, too row, second from the right?

As far as a thread that documents the fine Knives/patterns crafted by Mr. Ingram this does not do him justice. Would be appropriate if we could have a redo. Just my thoughts.

This thread is over two years old and never really had legs until yesterday.
Yeah, it got a little side tracked, but there are some great representations of Genes knives regardless.

That’s a nice looking knife. How do you like it? Did you alter it at all or is that the standard B&T #1? I’ve been back and forth between that and the B&T #4.

It is a standard #1B&T. The scales are a bit thicker than any of the more traditional scales that Gene puts on those knives.

Wow, those are great. I’d love to fine a few Ingrams with Westinghouse scales to buy, especially in S30V. I always seem to miss them when they come up in the classifieds. I only have a #1 Semi currently but will add more if I can find a couple.
I have really enjoyed following this thread and the pictures of beautiful knives. For me, having the opportunity to observe the different knives and styles is surely an education opportunity. I should come due on Genes build list for another this May or so. Plenty of time to use all of this information to guide my final decision.

Reggie - I believe the smaller orange is H325 and the other is a Slim model with a longer blade, tapered tang. 4" blade with 4-1/4" handle IRC. Both S30V.
Really good looking combo. I noticed Gene has some new models on his website and it seems maybe some of the older knives aren't listed currently on the site.

Litehunter 1/4" longer blade Carbon Fiber scales Blue liners
That looks great. I like that extra 1/4". Do you think those carbon fiber scales will get slick when bloody? Never had a knife with them but have wanted one

I have that exact CF in an Ingram 4S. It gets tacky as [bleep] when blooded.
ALL good in that vein.
