Lakeland Bushcraft amazon
- Thread starter Docherty
- Start date
I bought a knife from his amazon store back in January. Just under £40 got me a simple and solid bushcraft knife with a very high quality sheath. I've only put it to modest use but it holds an edge well and is easy to sharpen. If he is able to supply decent stuff at low prices I'm at a loss to understand why he would need to hijack a respected traders name - why not just build his own reputation?

Well at least now that. "He" has been found out, others can be warned with a simple google review perhaps. You sound as though you would give this guy repeat buisness norca?

LOL ! what happened Southey ?
hahaha a mis understanding matey, seems it may have looked as though I was promoting him! hahahahahaha oh well all sorted now
Just back from the sorting office and have collcted my knife.
No makers mark on it. It looks quite nice from a distance. When you get close up however the level of finish is pretty poor. The horn and bone have been aggressively machine polished and the horn is scorched and uneven as is the bone. The blade looks the part but it is not brilliantly sharp. Time will tell as to the quality of the steel.

Did this guy ever trade as Perkin? If so in january I got a knife from him and it was (and is) abysmal.
Edit: Looks like he did.

I Made the mistake a while back of buying a "Handmade" folding knife from Amazon "reduced" from £80 to £15. I forgot, in my haste to heed the advice that if a deal seems too good to be true it probably is.
The knife arrived in a jiffy bag with my address scrawled on it in virtually illegible handwriting. It was marked as being sent by "The Steel Collection".
The knife seemed ok for fifteen quid, but certainly not worth anything like £80.
I submitted very honest feedback on Amazon giving it 3 out of 5. Nbole posted a very insulting feedback calling me a troll for giving a genuine opinion on being hoodwinked.
Avoid any products by this charlatan. He gives a very bad name to British artisans who do provide great handmade products.
