This site is mainly here for me to show how I make a ‘Woodlore’ style knife. You will find a comprehensive tutorial on how to go about the job, from where to get supplies through how to shape and finish the blade, how to put the handle on and finish it. As well as how to harden and temper the blade, in fact all you need to know about how to make a knife like Ray Mears uses and sells.
I also show you how to make the knife from an old metal work file. You need to soften (anneal) the file first, I tell you how. My first knife was made from a file and has a lovely edge to this day!
