25th Anniversary Woodlore Knife

No I suspect it is more to do with Woodlore sending out an email to their mailing list today to let everyone know about the changes to the site and this knife!! Those not on forums may not have seen the info before that email and then there was a rush.
IMHO it looks quite a nice knife - however not atall what i expected from the description.

They certainly could have been trading as Woodlore. They could just not be trading as Woodlore Ltd
Sorry I am a stickler for detail to. The current company I work for has traded as James Park Builders for a about 25 years but we only registered as a limited company about 5 years ago so I know it is not uncommon
Does that mean he has another maker for the woodlore to take over from Wilkinson Sword and/or onelnos?
Looks like a nice knife, no way worth £300, I bet most of them will end up on the Bay in 6 months.
So they're only making 250 of them? Well, whoever buys one is getting a lovely looking knife and I'm very jealous.
I too was --> <-- this close to buying one but 300 of your earth pounds is a lot of money at this time of year. Any other time and it would've been reserved!
Ah, well I bought a t shirt and 2 badges for myself and my wife to make up for it!

I agree the description says:
"hand forged carbon steel knives in the traditioanl Swedish manner"
That does not look especially traditional for sweden to me IMO.

Yeah, I was expecting something more traditional, especially from this maker. But it makes sense that the Woodlore Anniversary knife should actually be a Woodlore, and I'm quite happy about it being a traditionally forged version of the Woody too. A nice compromise and something a little different from an AW Woody with different slabs. I'll get a review up when it arrives.
that knife looks about as forged as a razorblade to me .stock removal from ground stock
with side slabs .
In what way is that forged (unless you think a remake of an old design is a forgery)

i agree flatstock ground, but must admit have ordered one to check it out and the quality,but logic says its a production run, and woodlore perhaps needs the money,there all sold so its another money spinner,but why pay £300 for a knife when there's other makers who can make an equal if not better knife cheaper
You mean it doesn't look like it's been rescued from a house fire?
To me it looks forged but I only have a small jpg image to look at, others may see something else.

I can't work out why you're all getting so worked up.
You don't like? - You don't buy.
There is no way this company that is watched under a microscope on here would lie about how this knife is made. Trade descriptions and all that.
You don't like Ray Mears stuff - don't buy it. Thought that was a no brainer.

Woodlore have stated that it is hand forged and shaped and NOT stock removal. A company with that rep and with RM at the head of the table ain't gonna lie bout stuff!!
The knife is forged as I now have number 020 in my possession. It is indeed as sharp as a razor.
