I just got my SWC Bushcrafter in the post and it feels a great knife....
The design of the handle is very comfortable....and it comes hair popping sharp...the spine is nicely squared as well and should throw a good shower of sparks from a ferro rod...dimension wise it is vitrually exactly the same as the Woodlore...save for the size of the grips...
The Woodlore has more depth on the grips and fills the hand more but the Bushcraft Knife is equally comfortable in hand and both are well suited for long periods of work.... plenty of control and comfort....
The Woodlore just slightly has an edge which is closer to the handle...they are both very close....but the Woodlore just nudges the SWC for closeness .... ofcourse they both afford a good "fine work" ability without having to choke up on the blade .... which is one of the main advantages with these style of knives and all told the SWC should deliver all the performance anyone could want.
However if I were to consider the asthetics of the knives...and this applies to both...they are a bit "Plain Jane" on looks...the wood on the SWC is heavily "lined" or "grained" and definately reminds you of a church pew or one of the old style school desks...a good nice "hard" wood...you cannot make any finger nail compression marks in the wood no matter how hard you try and press...which is a good sign for longevity and hard use....and is better than you often get with some of the other "prettier" woods ... but for the money you might well think you should get something a little bit "more"...
whilst I am all for "not depleting" natural resources...you rather feel that the savings made by using woods such as these are not really being passed down the line to the buyer...
If you consider that for just slightly more money you can get some great asthetics on knives such as Mick Wardell's damascus Bushcrafter...
You do feel like you are being a bit of a "martyr" to your principals with the "plainness" of these knives... although this is just a cosmetic point and I am sure the SWC knife will perform as well as any other... my Woodlore certainly does...and that is the main thing is'nt it??
Maybe makes you realise though why Ray prefers Antler grips
... I know I would too...
