Why not consider a Loveless style knife. I like the W.C. Davis knives.

Davis is a great value in Loveless designs.

The Davis knives, in my opinion are bargains at the prices shown.

A knife with a tapered tang and with a guard is much more difficult and time consuming to make than the knives without guards.

As for purchasing a good knife, the first thing I would ask is the steel it is made from. The next is the heat treatment, and who does it.

Davis is one of the few quality makers from the school of Loveless design that is affordable.

To the OP,

Here are roughly comparable examples from each, a Bullnose from Ingram, and a Model 60 from Winston, both in Ivory micarta and D2.

The Ingram is very thin, the Winston is fuller in the hand, but that is a difference that either could alter based on the design chosen.

Measured at the choil, the Ingram is 0.125" and the Winston is 0.155".

The steel seems to work equally well between the two on cull deer and feral pigs from use last season, and there is not a difference between them in edge retention comparing identical steels.

Either should serve you well.

Lets not forget about Scott Cook, another very fine maker. He doesn't make a catalog full of designs. Something most makers do to much of. Most likely because his design works and works well.
