Just thought i'd jump in here. I don't want to get into the exchange rate / money discussion, but rather speak as an extremely happy SWC customer. This is the blade i ordered from Steve earlier in the year. The thing that really got me hooked was the fact that Steve was more than happy to change specifications to suit my need's. He offers a build your own kit that is 4mm thick and 110mm long as standard. Your 'Woodlore' is 3.5mm thick (Wilkinson Sword) or 3.88mm thick (Alan Wood). Steve is very happy to play with thicknesses to suit you. It may not seem much but that 0.5mm makes all the difference. I've used many thicknesses and find that i, personally, prefer the blade to be no more than 3.5mm as i find it too thick.
Anyway, here's Lupo
I called it Lupo because of the Wolfs Paw print engraved onto the blade (Steve's work at my request), and the fact that it's smaller than your usual Woody clone. The spec's are,
Steel: O1 heat treated to 58/59 rc
Blade Length: 92.5mm
Blade Thickness: 3mm
Handle Length: 107.5mm
Grind: Scandi
The scales, fitted by myself, are unstabilized Buckeye Burl with white fibre liners and stainless steel loveless bolts. The buckeye was wiped with a boiled linseed oil / turps mix for a week, left to dry for a week then waxed with a mixture of natural beeswax, lanolin and turps. Lanyard hole omitted by Steve at my request. He also supplied a sheath (at extra cost).
It's well balanced, and was flawless when i recieved it. Obviously, looking at the pic's, you can see it's a user, but i do like to look after my knife.
I found Steve's work to be on a parr with his attention to detail, presentation and customer service. In other words without fault, exceptional!
I hope this helps.
