I was reading his book and read of the description of the knife he designed for the wilderness. Does anyone know of a source for these or similar knifes?
 
Hi Zip06,

I got one made by a US knifemaker, R.W Clark to my specifications, it's almost ready, O1 steel differential tempering (traditional Hamon clay technique) with part of spine also hardened for spark making with Firesteel, tapered tang and a very nice piece of handle wood including pouch style sheath with Firesteel holder for MUCH less then the original Ray Mears of Bisonbushcraft knives cost.

Ron has my design and your free to use it :)

Best Scouting wishes from Holland,

Bagheera
 
there is a ray mears knife made by alan wood on ebay for £225 dated 16/11/06 same price as rays woodlore shop , but without the 20 month wait !!
 
If you have never tried a RAT- 3. You might give that a try. I bought one
in D-2 steel and that is all i really use. Just bought a RAT-7 got it last night
and have high regards for it all ready. I will give it work out this week end.
 
I f memory serves me right Mr Mears recommends a Spear point Knife with a blade about 4-5" long .He also says not to get one with finger groves so as to allow different hand grips.I bought a Ka-Bar Impact Spear Point in D2 and think this knife ticks most of the boxes!
I have given this blade some hard use and highly recommend it !!!
 
Mears recommends a Mora as his training knife. Kochanski in Canada also recommends a Mora.
 
bark river knife and tool, recently came out with a bushcraft knife called the aurora..... :thumbup: it looks really nice... i am a big fan of BRKT knives, but have yet to get one of these knives.....
