I received a few knives from Gene over the last month. Today, I requested to get moved to the end of the line. He sent the message below back and said to share it. Looks like he’ll have a good bit of recovery time.



Hey…
Fell off a ladder last Thursday and broke left ankle and right tibia just below the knee. Surgery on the ankle and four nights in hospital.
OT/PT starts next week. Hope to put some weight on right leg in 6-8 weeks and on the ankle in 10-12. No knifemaking for a while but plan to pick up where I left off if guys that have waited patiently are still up for it.
Pretty big screwup.

Damnit!

Hope he heals up good and quick.

Really nice guy.

Was wondering, Longarm and I are a couple months later already over last year. Speedy recovery 👍

Dang!
Get well Mr Ingram!

Thanks for letting us know. I was just "playing" with several of his knives and thinking dare I get another. Good Luck Gene, I hope you heal well!

How long was his wait before this? He confirmed I was on his list in May 2020 and I’ve not heard from him since.

Bout a year. I got my last 2 middle of April last year. Haven’t heard from him yet, which I’m ok with.

Hope he has a full and speedy recovery!

My last was about a year wait.

Once your name comes up... 2 wks.


Speedy recovery Gene!

Ya, I was expecting the call in February/ March as well, no biggie.

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

My order was placed Dec 19 and got the first call from Gene April

What did you get? Always like seeing his work.

Plenty of good makers out there.
