Very nice as usual mate, has a bit of Deval bushcraft knife look about it,was that the intention?

 

[HillBill]

Thanks Mary

Silverback - No mate, no intention of it being like JD's knife. Believe it or not, the blade shape was taken from another knife i do, and the handle is from another of my designs. The only thing i have done different is to put the dip in the top of the handle, plus the blade is angled downwards a bit. I play about with my designs, mixing and matching and seeing how they look. This was just a result of one such experiment. I'm pretty sure that if you put this besides a Deval Bushy the differences would be quite apparent.

The handle is from this style of knife that i make

And the blade is from this

Yes mate. It is High Carbon tool steel. The same steel the woodlore knife is made from.

The grind is a scandi grind and even along the length.

You're welcome Mark. My posting was in response to this thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83028

I suppose I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to corporations wth their endorsed/sanctioned products being charged at extortionate prices. Mr Mears, and/or his entourage is making some big bucks out of the little people. That sorta sticks in my craw. The knife may be the dog's danglies, I'm not knocking that, but do take issue with that price tag.

I can totally see where your coming from bud, but the woodlore knife price is not little people money in my opinion.

I could not/would not spend £325 on a knife (at this moment . . lol)

Ray is probably the top of the tree for some folk and as such can ask (and obviously gets) top dollar for his gear.

There is undoubtedly as good stuff available cheaper but some have the extra paper to say "this one is a RM"
