Sold SWC Woodlore Knife - Further Reduced.

[The Cumbrian]

Stephen Wade Cox Woodlore Knife for sale. This was from the first batch of oak scaled knives produced for Woodlore. Never used, never cut anything and has been sat in a drawer all it's life. The only time it's ever been outside was to take the photos. Condition can be ascertained from the pics. SOLD

Do you have the certificate/letter that goes with it?

 

[The Cumbrian]

No, just what's shown in the thread. I don't recall there being one though. Even with the Alan Wood Woodlore that I've recently sold there wasn't a certificate, and the only letter was about the legal use of a knife.

There wasn’t a certificate with this. It’s also not oak, it’s the much rarer Iroko Wood first run that was made from reclaimed church wood that’s over 300 years old. They discontinued these in 2011 and made far less than the oak handled version.

 

[The Cumbrian]

Thanks for that.
I couldn't find the original advert, but am I correct in recalling that the scales were reclaimed from a parquet floor?

 

[JonathanD]

They came from the original integrated pews. The church was in the West Mids. and was built in the 1700’s. The wood was installed when it was built as the pews were an integral part of the wall panelling. Much of it was damaged and Steven and Woodlore rescued the decent stuff from amongst it.

I remember that.
