Alan Wood Survival Knife

[ANDYLASER]

I Purchased This From Alan Wood About 14years Ago. It Was At One Of The London Arms Fairs. The Knife Was On Alan's Stand And Unfinished. In The Days Of Cheap Hollow Handled Survival Knives, This, To My Mind, Is What A Survival Knife Should Be.
It Is Made From A 5mm Thick Piece Of 12c27 Steel And Is Fitted With Green Micarta Scales And Red Lining. It Has A Satin Sand Blast Finish. The Steel Is Unbelievably Tough. It Has Just Come Back From Alan Who Has Resharpened It For Me (f.o.c. Top Guy!).

Thought You Might Like To See This, As Alan Has Not Made Anything Like This For Many Years.

Andy,
I too bought a survival knife from Alan at about the same time!
The one I have has the same blade shape but a different guard and handle. The blade was mirror polished when I got it, but has since been given a hand rubbed finish as years of use left many scratches. It is still my favorite knife and I will never part with it, however if you have any Alan Woods for sale let me know as I may buy them...
