    They do look very similar to the Woodlore, don't they?

    Popular designs will always incite imitation. I take it they are copies of the WS micarta version he is selling.

    Can't see any cause for Ray to get on to the guy. He makes no reference to Ray or Woodlore and you can't trademark the word Bushcraft.

    I was having a look at the guys feedback and it seems that anyone that has bought one of his knifes has been happy with it. One interesting point is that he sold a WS Woodlore micarta, unused.

    The knife design is a rip off

    On the other hand the design is also a scaled up version of my sabatier vegetable knife! Thats been in production longer than the 'woodlore'. It may be of a high quality and most people who would buy it ,would be aware of what they were getting.whats in a name? Its a case of you pay yer money and make your choice.I'd rather spend my money on a WS micarta and save a fiver but each to their own :wink:

    All good knife designs are a "rip off" of an older design do you think that in the thousends of years that man has been relying on edged tools no one ever used the woodlore design untill Ray asked for it?

    if its sharp and it works well...... then its been done before

    Are they still having problems? I know there were some initial problems but I thought they had been sorted.

    No doubt many of them have but it still doesn't make you want to buy with confidence.
