Gene Ingram Collaboration, Lacer Knife

[Schwert]

This whole project, the Lacers, the different sheaths have been just plain fun. I am glad to have been asked to work with Gene on these and glad to have worked on something for a couple of guys who will put these to good use.

I have to say it is a slightly strange feeling handing them over at the post office though. I sort of wanted to keep them.

If only I had the cash. That is a fantastic version of your original design Randy. Plans for any more designs or will it be the 4 you've shown?

At this point the Lace pattern on the knife is probably going to remain, but since the knife was meant to be changable there are probably variations yet undiscovered. I was a bit surprised at the last two both contributing something new to the knife so I will not be surprised if any new orders do not result in additional changes.

My knife is currently on loan to a fellow in Oregon. Once it returns I may venture down the path of different lace patterns. I sort of want to try a center fill pattern, and would like to explore a sheath lace that would be a dense fill all along the welt. Endless exploration I think.

Here is another variation on the neck pouch for the Lacer. Gene added a 1950's streamlined curve to the top of the pouch. I think this is the best one yet.



This neck sheath goes with one of the recently delivered Ingram Lacer knives. Again, Gene made the pouch, I braided the thong.

BTW, that Silva Huntsman arrived today in its original 1960's box with the book....I have wanted one of these since I was a kid.

Schwert,
This is my first post here, I just have to compliment you on that rig. It is perfect, nicely done, conservative and practical. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Now I have to figure out the braid transition from round to flat to round.
