Woodlore Pro is absolutely useless……

[Tiley]

Or one immense Ferrero Rocher

Aahh! Ferrero Rocher! Confectionery of kings!

Poor technique not tool.

Use your thumb knuckle not thumb tip. Can even use a wooden spoon then.

I was sat next to him quietly practicing the technique you've outlined. He has his technique down to a fine art. To be honest he is too efficient. We kept running out of beer and had to forage for more.

At the end of the day it all comes down to time in the field drinking by he fire.

Vlad is a short man, 160cm + some so he need to compensate.

I can open bottles with my knives. That’s what they were primarily designed for afterall. But I’ll take that into consideration with the Pro. I‘m in talks with Ray right now to add a snap on accessory kit to the available options. Caviar spoon included.

If he could throw in a lobster cracker too that'd be great.

And a folding oyster knife in the handle please!

 

[Erbswurst]

And a cork screw!
Most upper class people rather drink wine than beer. Not because they really would prefere it, but because it's expected.

I personally drink Champagne of course, especially if it's between 8 and 10°C in the evening.

So you only drink champagne in the colder months of the year?

 

[TLM]

And with all those features put a white cross on the scales ...

Naturally, his light weight package does not allow the weight of a champagne cooler.

 

[Tengu]

Dont you all have a SAK for that?

Mine even opens tins.

 

[TeeDee]

Is that the axe we were told we don't need at a bushcraft camp?

Technically correct , and i've checked up with the resident neolithic expert and he has said " u don't ned anythung bside flinnt "

You need to get an old plug and mod it

 

[Kadushu]

Opening a bottle of vodka with a firesteel could get exciting!

 

[Erbswurst]

Besides flint you need champagne of course. Especially if it's between 8 and 10° C in the evenings.

Confectionery of The Belgian Ambassador.

 

[Erbswurst]

Did they have been payed so bad in the eighties that they couldn't afford better chocolate?

No wonder that ambassador was recalled...

I took delivery of my Woodlore Pro earlier this week and, while I haven't tried opening a bottle with it - that's the preserve of my SAK, I thought I'd offer some early observations.

On opening the box and first handling the the knife, my heart sank somewhat. At 5mm thick by the handle, it felt a little like a pry bar; the handle wasn't as thick as I'd like but it was a very prettily finished cutting tool. It was only when I got it in use that discovered the out-and-out qualities of it.

Feather sticks and roughing out a spoon were on the cards and the knife was fantastic at both. With the former project, it was an effortless operation to produce a whole mop of tight curls on several pieces of dry hazel. Roughing out the spoon was similarly without struggle as the knife proved to be adept at removing material, in this case both ash and holly.

So, it has impressed me so far and I am really looking forward to getting to know its capabilities better as the weeks and months go on. That said, the handle is still a bit too slim for my ludicrously long-fingered paws... but I'll get used to it!

That distal taper makes all the difference.
