[sum1quiet]

2 questions: where from and how much? Looks cracking.

Thanks for all the testing there JonD It is the most and best review I have ever seen for a knife and it passed with flying colours. I think I have my perfect retirement present to myself now, just hope it is available next year

A1 review JD it really has gone through the mangle .

 

[ArkAngel]

Well you can't say that it's not been throughly tested.
I would definately have some confidence in that.

Great review and pictures JD

So is this a Survival knife or a bushcraft knife?

 

[JonathanD]

Hard use utility

Mr Wood classes it as his survival knife or AWS4. The bushcraft version is 3/4mm with Scandi grind.

Fantastic review Jon.
Saw one of these at knives UK (was it this one ?) It's so well made.

 

[JonathanD]

Might have been if AndyP had it. And this is just the prototype without the refinements.

No mate wasn't with Andy.

Any chance of a web site address for the maker yet ? Pretty Please.

www.woodknives.com Which is under construction

or

http://www.rambo-knife.com/ Which is his original Rambo knife resource site and he can be contacted through that.

Would it work if some of that sheath ally be replaced with a bit of slightly projecting sharpening/stropping steel? might be easier to hold/use and free up the sheath rod space?

Unfortunately woodknives.com doesn't seem to be functional now.

Does anyone own one of these? Looks like a stunning knife.

Hah! didn't look at the date, my error. FYI Trend do 2 sorts of really light diamond sharpening plates that are light enough to backpack/glue onto say sheath and use in the field.
