After nearly two years of waiting, my name floated to the top of Gene’s list again. After his move, he is just a hop and a skip away, so he invited me over to discuss patterns.
I met Mr. Ingram at his home today for a quick lunch chat that turned into almost 2 hours of great conversation. A true gentlemen to talk with. He invited me in, showed me his shop, we rummaged through his collection of blanks, patterns and handle materials. I could have talked for hours more but I didn’t want to be selfish with his time nor would my boss have appreciated me missing from work any longer than I already was.
I decided to go with another Kingfisher and Yellow Jacket in matching, jigged, yellow G10. The Kingfisher I have is a gorgeous knife with Westinghouse scales…I just never could bring myself to use it because I thought it was too nice to bounce around on the boat in the gulf. This next one in jigged G10 should remedy that.
Between these and the ones I have in the works with MRK, I am going to have a busy summer of playing with new blades.

I like my Kingfisher! Post up pictures when you get your new Ingram knives.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
