It appears to be sold already, so no worry there.

As for the price, it's a woodlore knife which the new versions retail for almost 500 quid. This is an older version. http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/72-Woodlore-Knife/

Way too rich for my blood as well, I'm a Mora guy, but that does explain the price of this knife.

Made by Alan Wood (one of the 'el supremo' knife makers in the UK - there are a host of others as well). He only makes a few by hand each year. RM afficiandos love them for collections. Waiting list is 10+ years.

High demand + small output = big price.

Alan is a great guy and his knives are second to none.

Any answer to your post will raise more questions and debate than answers (and this is a sales thread) - have trawl on here and British Blades and you will find much comment on these knives.

No it was Hugh Grant that killed the hooker with it. And carbon from the ashes of Cnut the Great were smelted into the steel and then it was forged with a hammer wielded by the dwarves of Norway before finally being quenched in the blood of Bear Grylls. They were going to use his urine but he drank it all. Finally they made the sheath from the hide of Joseph Merrick and it was proclaimed to be a mighty blade worthy to be named in the sagas.

I used to get sand kicked in my face at the Moot, and just couldn't get girls to talk to me. Then I bought an Alan Wood Woodlore. Now men want to be me, and women want to be with me.

I did wonder. That explained it perfectly. Thanks.

The Bear Grylls part made me laugh out loud! Too funny.

Im so glad i bought my knife before the thread became another place for people to make anti woodlore comments.... All it needs now is the generic comment "lots of makers on here could make you a custom copy for half the price".

Myers, you'll always get naysayers. I think you're lucky being able to afford and own one. It's like some of the cars I had in the past that were for my fun, could've had a Ford Fiesta but I wanted my Sunbeam Lotus and my Alfa Sud. Enjoy you're blade, weather as a collectors piece or as a working tool, it's what you've but value in and that's why we moved from stone tools to metal, as folk put store in precious items.
Cheers,
GB.

Lots of makers on here could make you a custom copy for half the price you know.

Yes, but what you have got to remember is that most of the anti Woodlore comment makers are usually closet wannabe Woodlore owners, it's an iconic blade with a superb pedigree from one of the best makers in the business, enjoy using it, and kudos to you.

+1 for that comment. Myers13 you enjoy your new knife mate. It'd be great to one days see some pictures of it in use. Good on ya for buying it.
