Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Ingram Arrival...................

LSU,

Last time I talked to him he was giving April 4th ship dates, but also said he hopes to continue to ship 2 weeks earlier than his quoted date, I think mine was almost 3 weeks early. The #4 looks mighty nice!

shhhhhhhhhhhh.....quite now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />





Gene doesn't need me.............they sell themselves.

Steelhead showed me the light and I'm grateful.

The goods were better than anticipated,Gene is a treat to do business with and his prices rate a steal IMHO. I also like the ability to tweak things how I wish/crave.

That don't leave much,to not be tickled about. I'm thinking the Bird & Trout with Kydex is gonna be a mainstay in these parts. It is a great design and most practical in every facet.

Several pards are hooked too,as good stuff simply do sell itself................

Hey guys, Gene said my knife would be ready around April 16th, also to clear up a question or two the bolstered knife with cow bone handle that Big stick refered to as the x3 experimental ? Gene told me he calls it the 9B, and a very tempting model I might add <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Maybe, Big Stick should Experiment with 9B and let us know how it works out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Later, Ackleyfan

Ackleyfan,

Did he give you any specifics on the 9B? Wondering what the blade length is. I like the looks of the knife but I'm thinking the blade is longer than what I want.

LSU fan, heres the particulars and I quote,
The bolstered knife is a new model named the 9B. That was the first and it went to a client in Taiwan.
That particular one is 7 1/4" overall with a 3" blade in 1/8" D2. The handles are mitered 416 stainless bolsters
with cow bone, black liners, and stainless bolts. The front of the bolsters are radiused. The pouch is 8-9 ounce
leather with a hot dip in neatsfoot and beeswax. The package is $185 delivered in the USA. The same package
in S30V stainless is $200. The bone that I have ranges in color from light as this knife to dark as pictured on my
site. I will select and use whichever you prefer.

Very interesting. I'll have to find out how much one with a more conventional handle would cost. This choice is getting tougher. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

To confustigate things more <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> heres some handle materials he's used/uses. I don't know if he's still has these available other than the Blackwood. And I think the correct term for cow bone is "Texas Ivory". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

African Blackwood



Buffalo Horn, purty but,probably too rich for me.



And my favorite,Bocote,a Mexican rosewood. Gotta have one. It kind of looks like oak,but warmer.



Jeff

I have one of Gene's knives with Blackwood. Very good wood, very stable, hasn't moved an inch in a 1 1/2 years.

The Buffalo is actually very inexpensive, but I wouldn't recommend it for a "using" knife.

Gene also does a nice job with jigged bone. This one is a #2. I recieved it a couple of weeks ago.
