Hi all I am wondering what makers make bushcraft style knives. Something similar to the woodlore would be nice. I am also wondering who makes the woodlore and at what price?

I am really looking for a maker that will put a flat ground blade on a bushcraft style knife.

I have a Allan Blade just looking for other makers for future knives.

Please post contact info, websites, pics, whatever.

Thanks.

Geoffrey.

Hi Geoff, if you have a Allan Blade bushcrafter you probably have a knife thats good enough and certainly one thats well worth the money.

The factory woodlores are made by wilkinson sword look at there website - the hand made one is made by allan woods but you'll be an old man by the time you get one of those going by current trends.

Bison Bushcraft make a selection of fine knives - again hand made and their is a waiting list for these too.

The mora classic and clipper are to economical knives of high regard, you can also use the blades to make your own knife.

Anyway I am sure others have their own personal preferences but I think any of the above are the best knives for bushcraft (some more than others) so you pays your money you takes your choice.

I second that on J and Tess. J has helped me learn knifemaking and Tess has made some wonderful sheaths for me to send on to my customers. I think Tess is mostly now only making sheaths for J's knives now though.
