Thanks very much for the pictures. It puts the knives in good perspective. I'm leaning toward a #1 or 2 semi and have also looked closely at the light skinner.

I guide in the Adirondacks of NY for hunting, fishing, camping, etc., and am pretty avid about hunting whitetails. Given a single knife purchase, do you have a clear preference for all round use between any of the models, especially between the #1 Semi or Light Skinner? I understand tastes are personal, but given the knives you've purchased, our are probably similar. Thanks again for the pictures. They're very helpful.

Frank, if "I" had to choose between the #1Semi and the LiteSkinner it would be the #1Semi.

The #2 Semi is a good one too. My gripe was with the handle shape. It has a finger groove in the handle that didn't fit my hands with how I use a skinner. When I use a skinner I tend to choke up on it. My middle finger rests behind the blade and my index finger usually rests on top of the spine guiding the tip of the knife. I find that the tip of my index finger lands almost at the tip on the shorter bladed skinners and that just works for me.

In this pic the #2Semi is on the bottom with the #1 right above it. You can see the handle differences.

The lite hunter is a great knife.If all you were getting was
one.But you won't buy just one.....

I have a #2 B&T that is awesome for whitetails.

Brad what is that handle on the second from top?

Jeff, that is Buffalo Horn. My #1Semi is also Buffalo Horn. The figure just showed up in the slabs that were put on the Slim.

Jeff,

What are the two knives in your photo?

They are the lite hunter dropped combo in micarta.
I have two others in wood for eye candy...
I have 4 more on order,for gifts.
Well maybe one is for me.....

The lite skinner and semi are two of my favorites--but his Spey pattern I think is hands down my all around knife. I will admit, folks talk about skinning multiple moose etc. without ever sharpening them, but I cannot. Maybe I just hit too much hair. Regardless, his S30V holds an edge longer than my Doziers.

Here are a few favorites--although several have found new homes to other campfire members.

Are you CRAZY? You use those things? <GRIN>

Nice photos and great knives.

The above double whammer pair are for when critters are down, the below pair get LOTS of daily use. I hardly ever see anyone with the second knife, but I have 2 of those bastards and get lots of service from them.

Steelhead

What model is the knife with the Kydex sheath?

K16m yukon modified pro skinner

I have no idea on models, that particular one is the first neck knife that I know of that Gene did. We discussed and I told him what I was wanting the knife to do and that's what he made.

Now this is a knife I could see me using if I didn� have my own.
Very good shape

Thanks I should have paid more attention, this my dozier....whoops

OK

i`ll work something out

Steelhead what is this combo called?What is it made up of?

Bradarnett I hate to ask but can you take these same pics with a different back ground?I am having a heck of a time seeing them.I am in the throws of figuring out what combo I want.I am thinking a pocket combo?

The lite something or other I think, not sure.

D2 steel and elk horn scales.

elim, I can get you some different pics of those if you'd like. The little drop point is in Oklahoma right now, I shippped it out with my rifle last week. You'll have to wait until I get back from there for new pics of that one, but the others are here.

Hey guys,

I'd like to thank you all for sharing pictures and information on Mr. Ingram's knives. Before about a month ago I didn't know about Ingram knives. I now have a #2 semi on order in white micarta with a 3 inch blade. I spoke with him when placing the order and you couldn't talk to a nicer man. Delivery in Sept. 2012. Quite a statement as to the quality of the knives. I'll keep my eyes open on the internet for an available knife that will compliment the semi.

Thanks again for all the info and pictures of beautiful knives.
