View Full Version : woodlore template
Hi folks I am making my first knife but am looking for a template. The advice i have had so far seems to be to copy my org knife. Problem is I only have a clipper. I am looking for a bushcraft knife template like the woodlare or bearclaw knife. Also would 3mm or 4mm steele be best for a general purpose knife
thanks for the help
I beleive Greenpete (member on this forum) has a template on his site

The link to this template from the BB site thread does not seem to work as I looked there for Caleb a minute ago :(

As far as I can remember (without raiding my bookshelf), the coffee table version of Ray Mear's 'Bushcraft' has a full sized (I think) photo of the woodlore knife in its knife chapter. If its not the right size, just scan/photocopy it and blow it up to the correct size.
hope that helps,

Just don't post an exact copy / drawing of the knife here on BCUK, as it's (design) copyrighted. On BB there are several threads locked just because of this ...
Just for your information ;)

I got your pm, did you get the email with the templates yet
