Its an awful lot of money for something my hultafors will do and you'll never break a hultafors, I agree the Ray Mears knives are good but three quarters of what you're paying for is a nameA original woodlore can go for upwards of 500, a quick google brought one for £745. The latest models go for around 200 to 250...

I appreciate the answer but unless you have somebody who is going to follow in your shoes then there's no point. For many years I had a puma white hunter very expensive and probably the best bushcraft knife ever made but these days my cheapies are up to the taskI do agree with you on that, I don't think I could bring myself to splash out 800 quid for a knife that was made to be used. I say think cause I just don't have that much expendable income
I am also not a massive fan of the bushy shape but my original answer was in response to the question asked.
That being said, should you be able to afford one, it is one piece of kit that will keep its value. You can pass a Alan Wood bushy on to your kids and they can pass it to theirs if it gets looked after, whereas a Hultafors or Mora does not really warrant heirloom status imo.

Now I like this answer mate. Heirloom is right up my alley Something I can pass to one of my kids. (Am not buying one for each) for this! I would pay 800 for one. Would have to save tho
By any chance are you on commission for the sales of his knifes you make a convincing point
the thing with Chris reeve knifes are now copied in china now.. I managed to pick up a Stephen wade cox woodlore knife but its tool steel so going to have keep a close eye on it for rustingHa, I wish... The conversation just kinda focused on the bushlore, but to be honest I would make the same argument about any knife maker worth his salt. They don't all become famous or reach that price bracket but most of them has the potential to do so and produce the same if not in some cases better quality pieces. Some are just luckier than others and their original pieces end up on production lines, which in turn make the originals much more sought after by collectors.
Chris Reeve, J Nielson and right at the top Loveless are other makers that caught this gap in the collector/user market.
So if this is a fact then it's up to you to make sure you absolutely have the best knife you can afford on your person when you need it. Not only the best you can afford but the one knife you can trust your life with. The bottom line is how much is your life worth?the best knife for any job will always be the one you have with you when you need one...
