Guest Lord B Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm looking to buy a handmade British knife for stalking and hunting. I've recently ordered an SWC knife but I also want another one thats going to get a lot more use, and more importantly wont cost the earth, though I will pay a good price for a knife with a good quality blade, 01 tooling steel or laminated steel. I know there are a few guys on here that do make knives, so if anyone has one made or is making some I'd be interested. Pref a drop pint blade, similar in style to the Ray Mears Woodlore shaped knife, but anything considered. Any pics or prices and spects, pop them on here or PM me. Cash waiting. Thanks a lot.

I have a SWC knife coming to me within the next few weeks. To be honest now that I use my Opinel 12 for everything I will be looking to move it on. If you or anybody wants a Handcrafted Ray Mears style knife but not at the price or waiting times give me a PM and we can discuss details. The knife cost me over £250 and I have had some upgrades done to it. Twelve bags of Red Mills Tracker and it could be yours.
