Martyn designed his own knife a few years ago, and it is known as the BB knife.
It's the bottom one in the picture (by Martyn) below, compared with a WS Woodlore, which we all know so well.
Inspired by this knife I made my own design, basically making a combination of Martyn's knife - and the Woodlore.
This was the result of the design:
I contacted Alan Wood a year ago about this, and he took the order, which would take about 12-18 months, though he delivered within 11
.
This is the final result (picture by AW):
It got delivered at my parents home (as I'm in uni - sharing a flat with some uni mates, makes it not a good place to have things delivered) - and finally got it into my hands today 
I will take some more pictures and measures, etc. and post these - as the picture shown doesn't do any justice to it's real beauty.
Specifications:
- BB knife with Woodlore handle (full tapered tang) - droppoint.
- O1 tool steel
- Cocobolo with black liners
- Thong hole liner and 2 (Loveless ?) bolts
- Sheath: Woodlore-ish (Buffalo leather)
Alan also included a fire flash with matching cocobolo handle thingie and added about 1 feet of thin paracord (rigged through the thong hole liner and attached to the fire flash).
As you all know Alan is a great guy and a pleasure to work with. He was very patient with me (as I altered the handle material 2 times ) and answered all my questions I had.
