[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.

 

[robevs73]

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?

You know this thread's ten years old?

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.

They used to do one half the width of the credit card size, which I use, still has a picture of it on their website but seemed to have dropped it as a product line.

Yes I have one. Beautifully made knife. Sadly it's a drawer queen as I haven't made myself use it yet as I've got more than a few bushcraft knives as users.

Is Andy Wood still functioning as a knife maker? Neither of the two posted website addresses appear to be 'live', so, based on that, I can only assume that he has stopped his superb work. Please correct t me if my assumption is wrong!
