Alan Wood Micarta £300 on ebay

[The General]

To quote Alan

"Therefore it is not a woodlore knife as his concept dictates O1 tool steel with maple handle or antler for the instructors models."

He is of course refering to Ray Mears concept.

I am sure he would not mind me quoting this as it was in response to a very specific question.

I sent the guy an email:

Is this the same shape as the Wilkinson Sword model and the Alan Wood model sold by Ray Mears?
What is the blade steel?
Any photographs you could post to me?


And he replied:

Yes, same shape. steel is 01. I'll see what I can do about the photo if this other guy doesn't have it or it 'times out' on e-bay. You'll need to send me an address.


We shall see ............

I see the guy has a -1 feedback rating for describing an item he did not have. And now he is selling a knife we cannot confirm was ever made, without pictures.

Oh must go now I can smell somthing fishy.

I think that some of the guys are going to tear this pic to pieces, I've not got a WS Woodlore but those that have will likely say that it's not one, the handle slabs look wrong and the sheath.....Ummm
