Description

This Ray Mears – Wilkinson Sword Original is a well known classic Bushcraft knife, manufactured at a time when the demand for the knife out stripped supply.

The original knife was designed and built by Alan wood in conjunction with Ray Mears. These knives were bought to be used and there are very few left that are in close to pristine condition. This particular item has a black micarta handle, 01 tool steel blade and has seen extremely limited use. It has been used, however never sharpened.

The Ray Mears Bushcraft Knife is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship. Its design, blending traditional and modern elements, emphasises both functionality and aesthetics. The use of O1 High Carbon Tool Steel for the blade ensures durability and edge retention, while the Scandinavian-style bevel allows for precise sharpening and efficient cutting. The laser-etched logos give the knife a distinctive and personalised touch.

The attention to detail in the handle design, based on the Wilkinson Sword models but slimmer than the Woodlore Knife, adds a layer of comfort and control. Linen Micarta is a fantastic choice for the handle material, known for its strength, stability, and beautiful finish. The addition of Corby screw rivets ensures a secure fit while maintaining a clean and polished look.

It’s no wonder this knife is highly regarded in the bushcraft community, combining time-tested materials with expert craftsmanship for both rugged outdoor use and a refined, attractive appearance.

This Ray Mears – Wilkinson Sword Original knife is in excellent untarnished condition and will be much sought after by collectors due to its condition. The knife comes complete with the original brown leather sheath as shown in the images.
