Lakeland Bushcraft amazon

[Docherty]

Hey Guys,

I know we were all pretty gutted when they ceased trading, but if you search Lakeland Bushcraft Centre on amazon.co.uk it seems that they've got some really cool end of stock products at massively reduced rates (£80 down to 20 etc)

Assuming it's all linked to the guys we know

I don't think it's anything to do with Lurch, could be wrong though

Some of the pictures of the knives for sale remind me of a certain trader who was known for copying other makers designs.

And I've seen this blurb before as well...

We sell a range of bushcraft knives, bowie knives, hunting knives, camping knives, hatchets, axes, choppers and survival gear, as well as leather shooting, hunting and possibles bags for bushcrafters. All of these are specially designed for those of you who enjoy being outside, camping, stalking, shooting and fishing. We source the best bushcraft knives and other items and offer them for sale to discerning buyers who are looking to buy the best quality items for the lowest possible prices. Why pay more?!

And I've definitely seen the bag before being sold by the gentleman

Was just about to say the same...

That's exactly what I thought too Steve

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

well they seem to have good feedback but some of those prices seem very keen

 

[Mesquite]

Yup... just checked one of the known sites for that gentleman and the pics are exactly the same.

I'd steer well clear of them if I were you Paul

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Could someone fill me in via pm please

 

[knifefan]

Yup!!!! They've been dropping prices for quite some time now - probably because anyone who knows knives won't touch him with a barge pole!!!!!

Could someone fill me in via pm please

PM sent Paul

Cheers Steve replied

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Thanks to eveyone who pm'd me. ive been having a good old read of some of those links. Will let you all know how my hasty £60 investment turns out

 

[Docherty]

Well maybe Lurch'll pop by and clear up whether it's legit or not... Sorry if I've linked to some guy whose on a few folks bad books

 

[Trunks]

Ah, the Lord Voldemort of knife makers is back in another guise :aargh4:

 

[jackcbr]

Well I'm totally lost, please can I be enlightened too?

 

[Humpback]

The subject of the 7th post has an biblical outlook - he turns sells items described as knives which are in fact plough shares*.
Whereas Lurch is a genuine bloke whom i have done business with in the past and would do again if he were still trading.


* allegedly

 

[Still Waters]

How strange i was looking at a knife for sale by them the other night and thought it was lurch clearing old stock

So i take it from the thread its not lurch but could someone please pm me to let me know why its not a good idea to order from this company?

 

[John Fenna]

It all looks very familiar ... not Lurch but someone I would not be happy to buy from.....

 

[treefrog]

I seem to recall Lurch being unhappy with a hatchet thingie on UKBF. I can imagine he would also be unhappy about someone trading on his old companies excellent reputation.
