The only problem i had with woodlores was the dept of the blade, its a bit to wide for my liking, i prefer a much narrower or tapered blade in 3-4mm, makes woodwork so much easier and adds control.

Ouch
I really must get these results up. Cheers for those involved, there is a massive difference between the results here and on BB. Loads of collectors there. Good job MartinK9 can only choose one option otherwise we'd all be confuzzled.
I do not own a Woodlore. I do not have any friends who own a Woodlore. I will not buy a Woodlore, as they are too expensive for my budget. I have never seen nor held a real Woodlore. However, having said all that, I think the esthetics of them is spot on. I like the shape of the blade, I like the scandi grind, I like the slimmish handles. It appears to me to be a very useful knife. If they were reasonably priced, I would have one in a heart beat. Is it better than my EnZo? I'll most likely never know.

i own an enzo and have used lots of woodlore cloes ect, the enzo bites deeper into wood due to the higher grinds, the rest is down to personal prefernce.
Update
There are no words :notworthy
But something tells me that if you did get an Instructors model, you wouldn't be happy till you had two

True, very true
True, very true
But apart from that, you've now got them all. If you could get AndyP to part with his giraffe handled Woodlore, that would be close enough visually to the antler version. It was rehandled by AW and looks just like Rays current version.
I am happy now, I just rotate through the left hand set, the JP will be out at the Rough Close Meet end of the month getting a battering
Edit: Took the SWC instead:

Realy enjoyed this thread, MartinK9 you are a funny chap!, Own a 25th and really enjoy using it, i find the blade thickness at 4mm fine for me and it fits me well,I do use other knives, but the right tool for the job is not the right tool for every job,
MartinK9,
Nice pictures. Interesting to see those limited ones getting some actual use.
Is the steel that was used for the JP version made public? All I ever read was 'carbon steel'. Any comments on edge retention as compared to the SWC and AW versions?

As mentioned before, I rotate through half my knives. Edge is still super sharp after 3 days use:
yup second that, i've been carving little nik-naks over the last week and i havent noticed any real loss of edge. it is my main user.
Nah JD..
Forget the giraffe version, he wants the real thing..
Glad you've come along to wind him up too. It's good to see it again, and looking sooo great at that. You need to add it to the perfect collection.....
By the way Andy, you still got that giraffe Woodlore?
