My new SM Bushcrafter

I am still in love with mine.
After a few passes on the loaded leather strop it shaves like a razor. I had a light week end camping trip and it did everything I asked of it with no edge loss.
With the demise of WS these knives may be our best bet for a Woodlore style knife that doesn't require a bank loan. There is a Woodlore on Evil-bay right now for over $400.00 US dollars!!!

Very nice all round. I really like the quality of Stewarts recent work.
I have one I bought just over a year back with an antler handle. The finnish isn't up to the standard of the ones here but I love it & it has stood up well.
I like the ivory micarta too, the only thing I have to be careful with is damp, the antler swells a little in the wet.

I notice that Stewart has an antique ivory Micarta grip bushcraft for sale there. It is a little more "yellow" than mine. I have noticed mine getting a little more yellow in exposure to UV light. In time mine may catch up to that one.
