I am very satisfied with the D2 knives I have from Gene Ingram. His work is exceptional and his prices are very very good. I have an article on my pile from him over at the outdoors-magazine:

His work is stock-removal flat ground as opposed to Dozier's hollow ground. My favorite general purpose is his #6 droppoint and a slightly thinner version can be had in his #30.

This is my standard length #6 with Seacow bone scales:



I highly recommend his work, and agree with your D2 choice. D2 done from an excellent maker is a very good choice.
