As a proud owner of a Woodlore and a Jacklore, I can tell you that they both cut, they both have scales, a fire steel is easily used and they both have a sheath! I like both of them.
You are now the proud custodian of an original R.M. / A.W. Woodlore mate, and what a very generous gift, but in all honesty Sandy I prefer yours and am proud to have one, have a good show day and maybe see you there, atb to you sir.
Those knives Sandy are beautiful and though I am not a knife person I appreciate the skill and effort that must go in to each and every one of them. Each knife unique, one of a kind with your heart and soul contained within. Who would not want to own one of your knives. One day I will :)
Beautiful and most fitting gift! The Ray Mears-Alan Wood original is a well deserved reward for all the work you put into each of your knives. You charge a very fair price for knives built to the highest standards. Happy to know that you are now the owner of the prototype!
I have no interest in knives, but you can see the hard work that goes in to making these knives. They are of quality and craftsmanship that would be hard pushed to better. Yet another great video.
You have nothing to fear Sandy your Knives are going to be used for many decades to come, your legacy to the bushcraft and hunting fraternity will prevail.
Pity I live in Africa,beautifull knives Sandy you are an inspiration I have watched all your videos riveted till late at night,on both your listings.Thanks.
Hey Sandy, your knives are all a works of art and would love to own one. Thanks for making that great comparison on the woodlore and jacklore . If I had to choose I now know that I would prefer the jacklore. Keep up the great work so maybe I could own one of your knives one day Sandy . From Down Under.
Wow...What a gift.That woodlore knife sent me on a journey searching and hoping that one day I would have one of my own. That's how I found you Sandy. I will always cherish the day that I opened your parcel to hold my very own Jacklore knife.You just have to look at them together. All the best at the knife show...You'll sell out quick. Cheers....Kim.
Thanks Kim, The gift of a Woodlore by Alan Wood was most unexpected I can tell you. I think it is quite an early model as later Woodlores have slimmer scales, but even though my knives are good there is something about that Woodlore Logo. It is an awesome logo. Having said that so is the ancient Uffington horse which is my logo:))
All the best for the show. Couldn't make that and hear you will be sold out in 40 mins (or less) hope to order from your website when I get lucky.....Dave J, left hander.
What a Beautiful gift Sandy . Im so happy for you ! Owning both myself I can honestly say if I had to choose only one it would be my Jacklore Hands down . Have fun at the show ! Steven
While you are putting the Woodlore on the mantle piece to admire, 20+ people will be doing likewise with their Jacklore knives on Sunday evening. Simply the best. :) The GF knife in stainless with a kydex sheath would make a great bushcraft/canoe/boat knife.
I love yew. But then I love all the wood handles you turn out; I just don't see that much yew. It has a rich, warm, buttery look. Owning a Jacklore is sort of a pipe dream for someone of my means who lives 7,000 miles away and, consequently, can't get to the UK knife show. Oh well, your work is so meticulous and beautiful that I would be sorely tempted just to mount it in a display case, even though they are clearly meant to be used. It's exciting to see you're branching out into stainless and kydex. I will be eagerly anticipating those videos, too.
Beautiful knives Sandy. I too would rather have one of yours than a Woodlore. I wish I could afford to jump on a plane and fly out there I'd be first in line. God bless you and have a wonderful time at the show. John
I hope you have as great a time at the knife show this year as you have the last couple. The GF knife really is a beauty. Fancy being presented with a Ray Mears knife so soon after meeting him, happy landings.
God youve been working extremely hard sandy,what a lot of time you must of spent in your workshop.Also what a kind gift you received and so obviously given with out any hidden agenda. Good luck at the uk knife show,i wonder if you can beat your sell out record.thanks for sharing.
Beautiful collection of your work. I'm sure you'll please quite a few folks at the show. Hope you have a great time visiting with friends and meeting some new as well. Take care.
Man i wish i could afford one of these, my Granddad gave me his knife just before he pasted away (My Granddad was my best friend) its cheap but means the world to me, your knives are definitely heirlooms that id love to be able to past to my son one day.
Good luck at the show Sandy ,I hope you are sold out very quickly as your knives are of top quality & very sound craftsmanship! I always like to hear your opinion on any subject you choose to devote a video to ,as they are always very factual & informative! Safe trip & a very successful show!
Great work Sandy, excited to see the GF, another elegant design, looks just right. Can't make the Knife Show this year, but have a great one, I'm sure there will be a queue of sleeping bags, waiting for the doors!
An excellent video again. Full of very interesting information and anecdotes. If only I could be at the show to be in with a chance... ATB Sandy. Martin
Oh my goodness. That opening shot, Sandy. You had me drooling. I think you're toying with me. All those knives and I have yet to lay my hands on one. It's painful! :-)
Simply a good feel to it all Sandy. Your stock appears to be an inspiration as was the gift. Fuel to continue for sure and from what I can see the knife show looks set to be a success . All the best. Mark.
I have a SWC made Woodlore and had 2 chances at an A. Wood version, 1 was brand new as i waited 6yrs on the list and the other time was an old one like yours. I didnt have the $800 odd dollars at the time Rays store emailed me so i had to pass, and i should of grabbed the old one but didnt. Oh well it is what it is, great blades you've crafted Sandy, cheers mate ; ) -Mitch
Hi Sandy, all the very best for the show I'm sure it will go well. Myself and foggy are planning a camp soon, you would be more than welcome. Great work as always and speak soon. Kevin
Sandy, You have said many times you would like to attempt a stainless steel knife. How about a stainless double or single edge full tang hook knife for carving wood spoons etc. May help you familiarise yourself with working with stainless material. Just a thought... but would look good with spacers and stabilised wood handles and your custom mosaic pins.
Always enjoy watching your videos Sandy, I'm certain your new design would be excellent for gralloching and processing larger species of deer including reds. Thanks for sharing mate. All the best from Scotland. Garry
I'm new to your channel and your knives. I'm glad I've discovered both. Went right to your website and was disappointed to see your not taking orders nor have any available. I'll keep an eye out. Beautiful work.
Sandy no problem coming over for how to kydex workshop 😁. I've also got some Elmax strip left over from my last cut if you want any 3.7mm makes superb deer blades
Duncan I picked up some cpm 154 at the show. I also need some advice on nitrogen dewar?? Any help greatfully appreciated. We will have to have a boys meet up again. Sandy
Fantastic set of Craftsmanship Sandy .. as a Compliment you very much remind me of Jack Hargreaves off theTV the Way you describe n Narrate all from your own things that you have done and Knowledge Great Vid
Beautiful,I own a Sako 270 and humpback a5 Browning 12,blue and walnut,like leather and brass,one day I hope to own a Jacklore.All the best for Sunday. from NZ.
As always a fine collection for the Blade Show. I know you will sell out quickly. I can see a slight difference in your handle profile than my own knife you made for me 18 months ago. Looking forward to your update PEACE :-)
If you were to make the GF knife with Stainless Steel and Kydex, would you consider doing Micarta scales ? Those knives are all beautiful by the way :)
love the knives sandy the are perfect I will be saving the penny's and when I've got the funds with all the luck in the world I might one day own a piece of your craftsmanship the new hunting knives look great i really do need to make the trip from here in Cheshire to the knife show to have a hands on look keep up the great work all the best Tim
that deer knife would look great in orange g10....I live in the USA an make knives my own i have v10 on it...if I would not have have that on it it would have been left in the wood..
You should have a Knife makers school with some Apprentices working with You Sandy , Your Skill should be encouraged and not Allowed to be Lost to inferior Competition .
Why am I just now finding out about these ?? I think I’m in love haha . I want to look more into these . I am still in the middle of watching. I just subscribed. You are so invited to my channel as well. Been collecting knives since the 80’s ( just after the first Rambo movie ). Yes . They not only have grown over the years but they now have their own room . ( drives my wife crazy ). Anyway these are gorgeous !! What to choose - What to choose ????? Hope to connect with you soon . Hope all is well and Happy 2020 2 U as well . Take care ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
To be honest and I will be I know which one I would rather have and I will hopefully get one at the 2019 UK knife show if I can get in early enough to get one off you
Fantastic as always Sandy, would love to know what you think of the Ray Mears style sheath. Kydex is good stuff, all you need that you may not have is an arbor press, but you can get by with a drill press, and the eyelet setters of course, get the pro setters as they are better than the cheap ones. Oh, just be careful with kydex on wood, kydex has a Rockwell of around 90 and can pull wood apart due the the friction fit, you may want to switch to micarta for kydex, I have unless I am working with a very hard wood like lignum vitae. Interested in what sort of stainless you are considering. Good luck for the show, Shelley.
Wow, lucky you with the woodlore! Whats the idea behind having a knife with a sharpening notch, is its purpose to give the blade a more defined cutting edge finishing point? Thanks
Excellent stuff Sandy. I like the new deer knife a lot. One quick question for UK deer processing going into the food chain I was told sometime ago +10 years back deer processing knives must have plastic/resin handles from a food safety perspective. Personally i'd much rather have a nice stabilised wooden scale on a knife and i think really because of the stabilisation process they would be exactly the same. Probably just UK Health & Safety gone mad. Or maybe theres no truth in it at all? What's your experience or thoughts? Atb. James
so the UK food standard agency allows venison processing with stabilised wood knives? If so this is cool! This was my original question not if O1 Steel or similar is suitable rather the scales / handles themselves.
As a proud owner of a Woodlore and a Jacklore, I can tell you that they both cut, they both have scales, a fire steel is easily used and they both have a sheath! I like both of them.
That red stitching on contrast with black...What a beautiful sheath!!!
You are now the proud custodian of an original R.M. / A.W. Woodlore mate, and what a very generous gift, but in all honesty Sandy I prefer yours and am proud to have one, have a good show day and maybe see you there, atb to you sir.

I didn't see a knife that wasn't just beautiful! I'd be proud to work with any one of them.
I have no interest in knives, but you can see the hard work that goes in to making these knives. They are of quality and craftsmanship that would be hard pushed to better. Yet another great video.
You have nothing to fear Sandy your Knives are going to be used for many decades

I wish I could get on a plane and fly to the show. As always, absolutely, beautiful. Well made knives.I wish I could buy one. Thanks. Tony.
Beautiful blades....anyone should be able to see how much you appreciate a fine blade and all the work that goes into it.
Sandy Jack = Master Knife maker !

A beautiful display of knives Sandy. Hope you have a great day on Sunday.
As always, you have produced a beautiful lot of knives for the show. Best of luck to you sir.
That classic Woodlore is beautiful....but I would certainly choose your Classic over that one as my personal knife. Your added depth makes it perfect.
That's a lot of work done there Sandy
God youve been working extremely hard sandy,what a lot of time you must of spent in your workshop.Also what a kind gift you received and so obviously given with out any hidden agenda.
Good luck at the uk knife show,i wonder if you can beat your sell out record.thanks for sharing.
Awesome collection of knives and I hope you have a good show. Anyone wanting one better get there very early....
Beautiful work. I'll be following the GF Deer with a sightly longer blade for White Tailed Deer with a tapered tang ad thicker handle.
Hope you sold out.
I would definitely choose 1 of yours over a Woodlore. 👍 good luck with the show.
Beautiful collection of your work. I'm sure you'll please quite a few folks at the show. Hope you have a great time visiting with friends and meeting some new as well. Take care.
Man i wish i could afford one of these, my Granddad gave me his knife just before he pasted away (My Granddad was my best friend) its cheap but means the world to me, your knives are definitely heirlooms that id love to be able to past to my son one day.

You must be proud to match up to this legend of a knife.

That is an Awesome and Amazing gift. Cant imagine anyone giving me an Alan Wood Woodlore! .
Lurve the Birdseye maple, beautiful, liners go well with colour of wood.
If you were to make the GF knife with Stainless Steel and Kydex, would you consider doing Micarta scales ? Those knives are all beautiful by the way :)

You should have a Knife makers school with some Apprentices working with You Sandy , Your Skill should be encouraged and not Allowed to be Lost to inferior Competition .
What price is your bushcraft knife with steel? Just wow I was thinking of purchasing very soon?
Why am I just now finding out about these ??
I think I’m in love haha .
I want to look more into these .
I am still in the middle of watching.
I just subscribed.
You are so invited to my channel as well.
Been collecting knives since the 80’s ( just after the first Rambo movie ).
Yes . They not only have grown over the years but they now have their own room . ( drives my wife crazy ).
Anyway these are gorgeous !!

Take care ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
To be honest and I will be I know which one I would rather have and I will hopefully get one at the 2019 UK knife show if I can get in early enough to get one off you

Interested in what sort of stainless you are considering. Good luck for the show, Shelley.
Any chance of a kephart clone sir? would love to own one of your jacklore knives! And your Biog? Again, any chance for us fans Sir?
Sandy, what is "stabilized" wood?
Wow, lucky you with the woodlore! Whats the idea behind having a knife with a sharpening notch, is its purpose to give the blade a more defined cutting edge finishing point?
Thanks
perfect like always. great job !
Hello Sandy, Hope all is well. Are you working on updating the GF Deer Knife -the larger version and the cryogenic equipment?
blimey you have been busy knife maker.
i see you there sandy come hell or high water , a beautiful array of your skills displayed there atb
perfect knives bravo!
when are you going to write your Biog for your fans?

One quick question for UK deer processing going into the food chain I was told sometime ago +10 years back deer processing knives must have plastic/resin handles from a food safety perspective.

James Lawson stabilised is non porous so is suitable as are carbon knives if you look after them
so the UK food standard agency allows venison processing with stabilised wood knives? If so this is cool! This was my original question not if O1 Steel or similar is suitable rather the scales / handles themselves.
These are lovely anyone got any idea of a price ?
Can I buy that berch scales knife? Im in love
Hi do you ship to Canada I would like to have one of your knifes.
