Also, there is a slight trade description thing here. Alan *only* makes maple handled woodlore knives - to the best of my knowledge, he's never made a green micarta woodlore knife. I dont think he can make exactly the same knife as the woodlore for anyone other than woodlore, you have to order them through woodlore. He will make you a bushcraft knife with your choice of handle material, but it wont be the same design as the ray mears knife. So if this guy does indeed have a genuine, badged ray mears knife made by alan wood, in green micarta - it could be a very early model, probably a one-off or one of a very few, which could explain the high price.
I doubt it though.
