Lets get some pictures up

Argh!! :yikes: Forgot the most important, the one below the leuku is a homemade also. Brilliant kit. :Crazy_071

The 'gold' handled: first knife ever, was much more beautiful when it was hole. But at the time I didn't i would become so interested in stuff like knives and bushcraft. Made it at 12-13, a good 3(½) years ago. But it was incomplete, no sheath.

Cheers. :biggthump
That first homemade one is awesome.:super:

Wotcha,

Got all inspired by Hoodoo's great photo's this morning and thought I'd have a go at taking a piccy of my Alan Wood knife. I bought it coz I liked it although I dare say it's not the perfect bushcraft knife. If anyone knows anything about this model or has any comments on suitability or lack of I'd be delighted to learn :notworthy

It looks like a very well made knife. But due to the full-flat grind may be less suited to wood-work than a scandi for example. But that depends on the angle of the bevel; Joe aka Squidders has a Gene Ingram that has a full flat but when i saw it was doing very well on woodwork. Due to a more acute Angle and slightly deeper bevel than on my Allan Blade (which i am convexing).

Its difficult to see from the picture. But other than the edge profile it looks like it is a very good knife...

How do you find it works on wood in comparison to any other scandi?

Cheers.

I think the grind actually is convex (Not sure what convex is but in profile the curve on blade looks like a pinched 'V' rather than a fat 'V' if that makes sense.

IMHO it seems great on wood, but I don't have much experience of anything else of a similar calibre to make a fair comparison.

Edit: 2 minutes on google... it's a hollow grind ):

 

[JakeR]

Ah, i see. I think hollow grinds vary from secondary bevels to scandi to convex (i think).

If it works well on wood then thats all you need! If i was you i would convex it as it seems like a very shallow bevel and may very well make the woodworking easier. But thats just me! If your interested in convexing it just let us know and we can show you how, its suprisingly easy.

Cheers.

Did someone mention knives?

Just got this one from Dale Chudzinsky (racquette). It's just a knife.

 

[Schwert]

Hellz....I had not seen all your Ingram's before....even though they are just knives....those are damn fine knives. The Spalted Maple burl on the pocket wharncliffe is spectacular, and you choices on the others are also impressive. Makes me think I need to diversify into some wood from Gene.

Hoodoo, that one from Dale is almost too practical to be just a knife.

I cannot wait for mine from him.

 

[Schwert]

I am going to toss in a few more Ingram's.

First his #3 Bird and Trout, thin S30V with paper micarta.

Then an interesting piece, his small Utility Hunter. This one in A2 with green canvas micarta. This was his very first pattern. This one is much thicker than my other knives. I encountered this one on his "Available" list one day and just had to have it. I really like it.

I may have posted this before but this is my long #6. Five inch blade in D2 and to match my standard #6 with Steller's SeaCow bone scales. This is my largest Ingram and it really turned out great.

And finally, his new pattern EDC. This one with green jigged bone in D2. When my long #6 was ready to ship, Gene sent me a picture of this one (knowing I am a sucker for green bone) and I just could not resist. This knife has really surprised me. It is light, handy and just perfect for.....EDC. I am heading to Alaska next month for a relaxing non-stressful holiday and this one is going along I am sure.

They are all just knives, but a knife from a maker I respect and enjoy working with to me really is more than just a knife.
