Another Woodlore Clone

[maverick moocher]

Just noticed that Bushwear are now selling the "Harris" Knife in the latest issue of their catalogue.Made by a guy called Paul Harris in Scotland, cost £275.See www.bushwear.co.uk, anyone have any experience of this knife? there is apparently a waiting list for it so someone is buying it! This a superb looking knife although somehow strangely familiar........

Sure is,I'm gonna try and sell all my "other" knives at the `Gathering so I can buy one But it does looks like a serious alternative if you are still struggling with the pointy shiney obsession

the guys at woodland edge are making some fantastic knives atm. Unusal and amazing patterned scales too. http://www.woodlandedge.co.uk/

It is a wee bit expensive.

There are several makers on BB who would supply you with a custom build for less money.

Liked the midge jacket on the site though.

Beware the Bushknife these people sell for about a fiver. I bought a couple to try and found they were basically a chear knockoff of one of the Frost patterns. They are scandi ground with a horendously crude secondary bevel and the blade is almost as flexible as a filleting knife. Mine have become "gardening" knives and get used for cutting out weeds, removing moss etc.

He's right, £160 - £180 will get you a knife from a good maker.

If you care to buy direct from Paul Harris you will save yourself quite a few pounds. His girraffe bone handled ones are about £230 and various fancy wooden scaled ones about £180-£190.
I have one of his knifes and can honestly say the fit and finish is very good indeed.
he also sells on the bay of evil.

He's on Ebay here. Although he's up near me I have no affiliation (nor do I have £200 to spend on a shiney thing unfortunately )

Cheers,

With the dollar so low, £100 could nearly buy you an Ingram or certainly a Garcia from over here. Spending $600+ on a field knife seems like quite a bit.
