From the maker:


looking forward to getting this one. My first of his and first Westinghouse.

You all are too influential...

Congrats, that one is sweet!

That's a fine specimen for sure

Enjoy that bad boy

Beautiful buddy.

Beautiful knife and a very useful pattern. Mine is one of my most used knives.

Which Ingram is that? Very nice.

bird and trout #4.
can't wait to check it out...

Pretty safe to assume that is a #4 B and T.

Very nice Jason !

Good choice on that one!

Thanks Gents. The lanyard business feeds the addiction...

That's a nice one for sure.

In the field - love it!


On the butcher block:

another nice Ingram!

That's a great picture...!

Very nice...all the way around...!

yes, I'm amazed at folks skill and imagination with taking pictures

Nice lanyard!!!

Perfectly done Jason!

Thanks gents. Thread started a while back and this was the first time I really took this one out. I think the bird and trout style is a great do all for how I use a knife.

Very nice!

Excellent knife and great pics.
My #1 B&T from Gene is one of my most used knives
I still need to get one with Westy scales though.

Cool pic !

that is so close to perfect, I'd not look further. What a beauty.

more work:

Love this knife - but one comment - the upswept tip makes gutting different as my normal knife position - upside down guided between my first two fingers of my left hand - kept causing the knife to go a bit deeper than I wanted. Something to keep in mind as it is my first knife of this style.

Great pics and a great knife.

Man that is very nice!!

Is it actually upswept? They Ingram B&T's look like they have a straight back design to me.

Trout,
When I was deciding, it was down to the small boner and this knife. In email, Gene said, "the boner is a straight and slightly dropped point blade, and the B&T has a bit of up sweep or trailing point."

I've read of someone on here getting a #4 with no sweep, but cannot recall who.

I absolutely love the knife, just something about this pattern that I thought was worth mentioning.

Thanks for the reply. I have a #1 B&T coming hopefully at the end of the week. I didn't realize they had a slight trailing point. I will have to get use to it.
