As a student living week to week ordering one of his blades was simply something to dream about. As the years passed I remained mesmerised by the beauty of Mr Ingram's blades and my "need" for one wasn't helped by posts by people like geedubya ; ) Eventually, I asked Mr Ingram to add my name to his list and about 18 months later my turn to order came around. Mr Ingram was very patient, helpful and accommodating, slightly stretching his #4 B&T for me - S30V, antique paper micarta handles, red liners and kydex sheath. A real gentleman with old fashioned customer service. Anyway, it arrived today and WOW - even better than I could have hoped. I will try to work out how to post a pic.

Just upload to their site, and post the generated link using “use full editor”. Looking forward to see it.

Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

This one is a S30V puuko style blade with a few tweaks in the handle to fit my hand. Can't wait to get some pics up for everyone. Last edited by CRS; 09/25/20. Arcus Venator
