Charles May FireAnt.

[Bear Claw Chris Lappe]

I got this little beauty in the mail today, it's a Charles May FireAnt, small (5 3/8th overall) fixed blade EDC, with a D2 blade and Cocobolo scales.

He even made me a left-handed neck pouch for it.

Here is a photo alongside a Bark River Knife & Tool Mikro-Canadian to give a good idea of the size.

Fit and Finish are perfect adn the edge is scary sharp!

He, David Winston and Gene Ingram are all acquainted and located in Mississippi.

Their styles are similar.

Schwert is right, Gene Ingram and Charles May make knives so similar I ahve seen threads were people wondered if they are the same person!

I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow and see how it does. My initial impressions are high, and D2 has become one of my favorite steels.

Man, that's a REALLY nice knife. (Okay, both of 'em are nice)

I just wouldn't want to be caught in a darkened alley with someone carrying one of those fixed blades.

"Hey mate, can you help me? My bow-drill's not working!"

hehehe
