Alan wood/Ray mears woodlore knife

[Perrari]

Tommy I apologise ! I have looked on the Alan Wood site, and yes I was wrong, they do come with a slightly hollow grind,(or at least his early knives did, and he is still basically producing the same knife) It's just that it looks different to any other Ray Mears/Alan Wood I have seen, even Ray's own knife has a flat grind when he sharpens it on his TV programmes.

Samon, the reason I thought it had been on a bench grinder is that it looks like a scandi grind that has been on a grinder,even the 'plunge' cut at the handle end is much more curved than others I have seen, Suggesting a worn grinding wheel with rounded edges, But now I know its a hollow grind that has been on flat stones that will explain the shape as well.

Anyway, as Johnboy said 'Its up to a potential buyer to make a call on if the item is ok for them or a fair price' so I was probably wrong to question & comment on it in the first place.

Please accept my apologies.

Same here, there is nothing wrong with the knife, if you read Alan Woods information about this on his webpage tommy19 may be able to sell a superb knife designed for using in the woods and not for admiring in a drawer and polishing once a year.

I'd be making an offer on this one if it was still available after September but I see that won't help you any unfortuantly. Good luck with the sale.
