He said this latest batch was Rockwell 58-59 (I think) to make it easier for sharpening but with a relatively high tungsten content for toughness. The blade finish is like a belt finish - so a working finish (keeps costs down for a knife that is meant for to be used). I held an example and...

Couldn’t believe the (low) price that Farid was asking for these D6 knives at the Sharp Show yesterday. I had one of his D6 bushcraft blades (handled by Rob Evans) around 10 years ago and it cut better than anything else I have ever had. I can’t attach a picture that I took yesterday but...

Hi there. Saw one of these with Alan at the knife show last wk end. The grind had a wide/deep secondary bevel - is this the same? Thanks. John

Yes pls. PM sent. Thanks.

Stunning work M. I assume the larger than usual ricasso is to enable easier choking? Can I ask why you don't include lanyard holes? Thanks.

Pls confirm sold? Am a sucker for yew scales.......

Never handled a CF grip - what does it feel like? And how hard wearing is it? Thanks.

Would like to see a pic pls.

I have an old wok which I use with the kids for practise fire lighting - just sit it on a few logs. You can do a lot of basic knife work, definitely knots, and if you have a garden then you can actually do a whole lot.

Wow - that was quick. Serves me right for making coffee. Pls let me know if anything changes and it becomes available............thanks.

I had one too - it was a plastic piece of rubbish but in my mind it would save me from the cold war..... I went up in the world when I bougth a plastic handled Ka Bar lookalike. Blackened blade which came covered in oil inside a plastic cover inside a ....err......PVC sheath. Happy days. And...

Hi, is this still available? Thanks.

Go ahead. Use it and enjoy it! Congrats.

Great - had not heard of the wooden kids knife from Frosts. Will search. Thanks everyone.

Hi All, Not posted for ages but frequent visitor! My 7 year old son is itching to copy his Dad making firsticks, tent pegs etc. I know this has been covered before but searches reveal old threads with inactive links. So, what would you suggest as his first knife? I have seen that...

Hi all. Wondering how sharp you guys think a knife needs to be for bushcraft? My AW bushcraft knife still has its original edge which was never hair shaving sharp. Thinking about sharpening it - how do you tell if it needs it? Thanks.

I met Alan at the Exeter Show and bought a beautiful micarta handled RWL34 bushcraft knife - it is the same design as the Woodlore knife but doesn't have the Woodlore brand - just Alan's attractive logo with his name. I congratulated Alan on the success that the Woodie was having but it became...

My Alan Wood bushcrafter with RWL34 blade and micarta handle is a great knife and would be ideal. Same as this one: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=13015

Cheers Mate (P7) - I have not handled any of Alan's other sheaths but you are right about ours, it is well protected. Have you put a firestick across the back of the blade yet? I am interested in how RWL34 will fare - mine certianly has a sharp enough edge (on the spine).

P7 - I have the same knife (got it at Exeter - we have 'chatted' before). Interested in what you say about the harder finish on the sheath. I like the sheath very much - can you elaborate on the finish? BTW the swivel is a great way to hang the sheath - it is comfortable, practical and...
