Now you've done it

I am waiting for one to go over £400 it won't be long now you wait and see.

If they ever stop making them the ebay price will go through the roof.

It doesn't even look like that ones been used.... maybe the bright spark bought it as an investment just to sell on ebay....lol

 

[rapidboy]

I had a crack at it and my £190 bid didn't even reach the reserve
I have to say it wasn't a serious bid.
This guy doesn't even have any feedback so your taking a bit of a chance.

Is that guys measurements right? I thought the aw woodlore was 4mm thick, and the blade & handle the same lengths? Thing is in the pic it does look as though the handle is longer...

I'm confused...

 

[y2keable]

the whole knife don't look right. i'd say its fake, unless the buyer got Allan wood to customize it a little.

 

[bambodoggy]

Do you really think it's a fake? that's rather a bold statement to make from one photo... I'm no expert so I can't really say although it looks like an Alan Wood Woodlore to me then again, to be fair, the last time I actually saw an Alan Wood Woodlore knife it was spinning in mid air and heading for a wooden board target next to a lake in Sweden (ehh, Stevie? ) so what do I know...lol and as it happens it landed point in perfectly as if a circus performer had just thrown it

Bam.

(I've got a video clip of it on my pc but no idea how to post it here )

The early Woodlores were made to different dimensions than the current ones.

Saying that though, I'm not sure if those measurements given are correct; 5mm does seem a little too thick.

 

[Venger]

Sounds to me as if was more of an estimate

£295 now and reserve NOT met.

I would not trust anyone who joins ebay and 2 days later sells a high value item.

I have seen people copy pictures and descriptions just to take your money and never send the goods. I have no evidence that this seller is a crook but I would be very careful.

A crook would not have such a high reserve. definately looks like someone has bought one just to sell on. Not a daft move either.

You should drop him an email and ask about it, 5mm, never heard of one that thick before...

It is funny I have never seen a Woodlore in real life before but watching the Ray Mears DVDs the woodlore seems much thicker than my Bushcrafter and it is 4mm.

John,

I promise that I'll bring mine, this time, to the meet on the 15th. Albeit a WS woodlore and not an Alan Wood

Cheers

Good and I hope you are using it now as well

 

[FreshMint]

i hear they are back to buy in October

 

[Daniel]

October? Did you here that from woodlore? They did tell me it would be before Christmas, but didn't give me a month... I have £235 sitting in my bank ready to order one when they go on sale again, hopefully soon!

I'll e-mail that guy and see what he saiy about the measurments!

 

[JakeR]

Daniel, i'd wait mate. There is a great knife that is about to come out very soon. I would predict it a better knife than the woodlore and it is only £145, with a much shorter waiting time.
