Wow, I'm very excited! I just ordered a Bushcrafter knife from Allan Blade! :D
It will have cocobolo scales and mosaic pins: I'd like Ironwood scales, but he didn't have any so he suggested me cocobolo scales "which is almost
exhibition grade". I can't wait.
I've also been lucky because he is doing a batch of knives next week so I'll have mine in one or two weeks including shipping to Italy.
And all for 119$ (100 euros or 66£). Great, isnt'it?
Obviuosly I will post some photos when it will be in my hands. :)

You mean he's doing a bunch of cocobolo knives next week? I ordered my cocobolo bushcrafter about a month and a half ago, so hopefully it'll be in that batch, unless he's forgotton me!

Well, yes. He told me he will do a batch of bushcrafter next week and he has cocobolo so maybe he will do your knife too.
I think you should contact him before it starts building the knives.
If there is a better deal on a bushcraft style knife? I've yet to see it. Alan's nicely sculpted coffin tang handles are not only super comfortable year-round but with a little less steel in the handle, you get a nice forward balance.
Hard to beat. I predict you will love yours, not only for the price but for the great functionality. :cool:
Has he a website we can look at :D

I hope so. :) I need a funcional knife I can trust on because I can't afford buying more knives... at least until I'll have a better wage. ;)

This one is a bocote-handled bushcrafter in 3mm thick D2 steel. Excellent work.

He sounds like a busy man... Probably why he hasn't got back to me in a while.. :)

Allan has been given only one pair of hands (just like us BTW :D), and can only do one thing at the time: working on your knife or answering your e-mails ;)
But ... no worries mate, he'll contact you - he's a great guy! (I'm waiting on a reply aswell).
