25th Anniversary Woodlore Knife

[benp1]

anyone?

 

[John Fenna]

Looks like a nice box!

 

[jojo]

Does the box turn into a sheath when you take it to the woods?

 

[Bernie Garland]

it won't be long before you see them on ebay fetching a grand

 

[John Fenna]

£1,000! too cheap!

i think your right:

 

[Aaron]

How dare you defame them with your inflated price-taggery. At a mere £300 each they are clearly aimed at the serious bushcrafter, not just the Keyboard Commandos and obsessive knife pornographers with nothing better to spend their money on......

Why is there no pic of the knife???? Both as user as a collector item, a pic would be handy.

Perhaps they show the picture of the box because they haven't yet figured out what the knife will look like. And why isn't 'our Alan' (Wood) doing the honours here? You could receive you knife celebrating twenty-five years of Woodlore in time for their fiftieth anniversary. Or am I being just a little unfair?

 

[jon r]

yes, would be nice to see the knife you spend £300 on

 

[Shinken]

By what the link says, i would imagine it to be a traditional style Saami knife. With Raindeer antler and birch.

Not a terribly easy thing to make well

no problems with that, if I like it and i can afford it, no problem.

I would like to say firstly that spending £300+ on a knife is no big thing and not limited to drawer queens... I have spent more on a knife that gets used.

What I don't like though is Woodlore telling porkies about how old they are.

Now even if Ray was teaching before this or running another company, Woodlore aren't 25, they're 10. Still cause for celebration but what's with the telling lies???

Could have been a sole trader for the first 15 years? As a sole trader you don't need to register with Companies House.

That is indeed the case.

 

[Squidders]

Could well have been... I was just saying that "Woodlore" as the company, not as him trading as Woodlore isn't 25... I'm a sod for detail.

Also, I just checked the site again and the photo has been updated showing the knife... I wasn't expecting a full tang job but it looks really nice. I got as far as the checkout but bottled it as it's a bit close to Christmas and i'm on holiday in January.

I was ---> <--- this close though

 

[myheadsashed]

Pictures of the knife are now on the site, not a Sami . Shame.

 

[John Fenna]

Nice enough - but isn't it just anotherwoodie clone?
Lots of other makers make similar cheaper....
Is there no little smily stirring things with a big wooden spoon?.........

 

[JonathanD]

Looks nice, that's mine ordered. Looks like the box leather will make a great stropping device too and tinder for the inner. Will anyone actually use these? Oh wait, no they'll sell 'em
