The only exceptions are cork and a couple exotic wood handle options that can’t be grown here. This one I couldn’t put down. This one retails for $120. Sheath, fire starter, box, everything.

jeffbird Campfire Regular J Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 2,714 Texas	Here is an Ingram 101 (?) on top of a Phil Wilson for comparison of examples of straighter profiles from each. Here are a few different profiles from Wilson and Ingram side by side for comparison of profiles. The Phil Wilson in S110V, next to the bottom, is my favorite, but really like the Ingram Bullnose in D2 also. As for S35V, I like it as well and carry it everyday. Like it. 👍

I have never owned one but I have handled a bunch and they are tough to beat. Well Dave Wesner does some fabulous work for sure. I have a few of his knives. He maybe one of the most underrated or unknown makers out there! Another one you don't see for sale from second hand sellers. I don't know Scott Gossman I like TK Steingass work that I have seen posted here. Eat Fish, Wear Grundens, Drink Alaskan.

I will not pay today's going price so guess I will have to just reminisce of past overlooked deals. And maybe copy them a little.
