Create my profile now!Alan Wood has been making custom knives professionally since 1985; his knife making started when he was around 11 years old, after he had seen on TV the 1952 film ‘The Iron Mistress’. Alan is in great demand as a knife designer, as well as a custom knife maker. He has links with the Woodlore knife now taken as ‘THE’ knife for actual Bushcraft use. Ray Mears, the world-renowned Bushcraft and survival instructor contacted Alan, as he wanted a British knife specifically designed for Bushcraft. Alan also works with Casstrom of Sweden and they produce the Safari knife of Alan’s design, he no longer produces a catalogue and has yet to set up a new website (taken from a piece in Gun Mart). This fine example has a single edged 9 cm blade with a serrated lower edge (21 ½ cm overall) engraved to one side ‘A. WOOD England’. The grips are a polished onyx coloured composite material contoured for grip held with five brass coloured pins with a lanyard hole containing a lace strap. The one piece blade runs through the grips and is outlined with a dark red detail where it meets the grips. The thick leather bespoke scabbard has an integrated belt loop and is solidly made, with all stitching intact. The price for this custom piece from a renowned maker includes UK delivery. 21170.
