I just received a custom knife from Dave Beck built from a design of mine. I also received today a #6 drop point hunter from Gene Ingram. These 2 gentlemen are not only incredible craftsmen but the nicest guys you could ever hope to work with.
From the concept stage of my knife design, Dave was available for me to talk to and swap ideas. His craftsmanship and technical ability are second to none. The knife I designed was transformed from a piece of paper to the most incredible, functional, most heavy duty and most solidly built knife I have ever seen. The sheath too was also built to the most exacting standards, a perfect balance between good looks and bad a$$ ruggedness.
My Gene Ingram #6 was his standard model, but I requested the same handle material and bolts as my Beck knife so that it looks as though the two were a pair. He was able to accomodate my requests, no problem.
Gene's fit and finish is simply amazing, as is the laser like sharpness of his knives. Gene's service is, as always, prompt, curteous and professional.
I just wanted to give these guys a big THANK YOU from a very satisfied customer.
