Alan Wood Knife Sheaths

These sheaths are for knives by respected English maker Alan Wood.

Alan Wood is perhaps most famous as the original maker of the Ray Mears designed ‘Woodlore’ knife. This is one of the most copied knife patterns in the world!

The design is simple with an 11cm handle, 11cm blade, chunky handle and a scandi ground blade. Most people love the design although others may call it mundane; to me the popularity of the knife speaks for itself. I love the design and I am a fan of both Ray Mears and Alan Wood!

The waiting list for a new Woodlore is 10+ years and they command extremely high second hand prices (they regularly sold for over £600 on eBay before they banned knife sales) so good luck getting hold of one if you fancy one! You can always put your name on the waiting list on the Woodlore website.

Instructor’s Woodlore

This Woodlore is the real article, not a copy! It is even more special as it has a bone handle denoting it as an instructor’s Woodlore, these are only given to qualified instructors at Ray Mears’ Woodlore bushcraft school.

This particular sheath was modelled in part (at the customer’s request) on a Rob Bayley Raven sheath so some of the design points are a little different to how I would normally go about things.
