Just got this from Gene Ingram. It's a bit of a blend of a couple of his models, with some requests thrown in as well. The blade is 1/8" S30V stock, 4.5" long. It's an excellent woodcarver and carves nice big chips off a 1 inch hardwood dowel. The scales are a bit wider than what he normally does. Very comfy. The scales are desert ironwood. The fit and finish are incredible, as is usual for Gene.
