I am from Maniwaki Canada no problem with shipping excellent tracking. Most of all this Mocotaugan (Crooked Knife) is awesome. I Love it!

It's funny that even when you know it is not going to come with a handle it's still surprising when it's just a blade in a bag. Having said that having put a handle on it and used it for a few hours I can say it's a really good blade, sharpens easily and cuts well. I'm already half way through carving my first spoon.

Excellent piece of kit, I had similar knives like this before but never realised how bad they are compared to this. It looks and feels hand made, it feels like something that will last a lifetime. Holds a good edge for much longer than the other crook knives I have tried. Handles are easily made on the fly so it saves some space in the pack which is also a plus!

The quality of the blade is premium. I look forward to making a handle for it. It is not only a tool but a bushcraft project as well. Brilliant.

Expensive but good quality, now I just need to make a handle.

Brilliant blade, I have already made a handle for it and carved out some things.

Delivery on time, without damage. The Knife is really sharp. it's also a precise product. Very practical and universal.
I have to recommended it.

Really nice, I enjoyed making my own handle. I have bought both blades and made my own leather sheaths as well. Both items are to cherish for life. Big thank you for both. I also bought two knives 15 years ago and both are like brand new even though they have been used well.

This is the second such blade that I've ordered from Woodlore. I'm happy to say that the quality remains consistently excellent, which helps buying with confidence. I've been setting these blades to mocotaugan handles based on the design shown on the site. The result it comfortable to work with and pleasing to the eye.

I was excited to put a handle to this blade, in the process I got to know it better. The blade is relatively thick, which gives it a pleasing heft, with no give or bend. The tang is precisely uniform in thickness and width, which helped in fitting the tang in the handle so that it remains snug and secure.

Awesome crooked knife blade made from Very high quality steel. It came sharp enough to work with right out of the box. After carving my own handle (which I really liked doing), I lashed up the blade and it looks amazing. The blade profile is extremely versatile. I can do a variety of carving/woodwork tasks with this beauty. I have sharpened it a couple times and the steel takes a great edge. Made from quality material. I am so pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend it if you would like a cool wood working project. If carving your own handle isn't your thing but still want a fabulous crooked knife, I highly recommend the Ray Mears crooked knife. It is also very nice quality and comes complete with a handle. Bottom line. I love it. Shipping to the U.S was faster than expected and with no issues. Thank you woodlore!

When I received the blade I was a bit confused, as the picture shows the handle also. Reading the text brought me back to the ground. When I ordered the product I was under the impression, that I would get the handle too. Even the package note of the blade mentioned the handle, but the knife is beautiful. Still a 5 star product.

Just as described; it was bought as a present for my Dad and it is an awesome piece of kit. It was very sharp on delivery and very easy to make a handle for it.

Really glad I took the plunge and bought this great knife. I handled it using an ash branch with a natural thumb cant, fitted in the traditional way and finally whipped in place using nylon cord. Currently using it at work making wooden animals; an excellent tool. Also proving really handy for hollowing out a birch Kuksa I'm making. A must-have addition to a bushcraft tool kit.

In the words of Ray Mears: It's like having a whole workshop with you. Really an astoundingly versatile tool, made by a pair of skilled hands.

This is a great product. I can already tell the craftsmanship invested into this piece of steel, it has been curved and tempered / annealed for hardness and I know that when I do use it in the field that it will keep an edge. I'll be honest though, I was hoping for the handle to be included. I managed to make my own from a dowel with a one inch radius and some gold craft wire to bind it to the handle. I then tapered the handle to an ideal shape. I didn't want to use glue as I know that once I get into the bush, I'll find an even better handle. For now it's ready to go. Hope to use it this summer to make my first paddle.

Very well made, sharp blade. Performs perfectly! It looks great fitted to a native New Zealand hardwood heart matai handle.

There is no beating quality, superb steel made with love and experience giving a tool you know will give lots of service. Plus you have to make your own handle, now there's another learning curve. I love it.

Extremely over priced for what it is but good quality

Items arrived in perfect condition, at my home in New Zealand within days. I look forward to using them, they look great!!!!!

A lovely little tool of brilliant craftsmanship

quite some time ago i purchased one of S.DJARV HANTVERK AB spoon knifes and got very busy with it alongside my julius peterson knife i managed to acheive alot,i had seen footage of Ray mears and Pinock smith using and talking about the first nations ,and the crook knife, i was very impressed with the versatility of this curved blade . Im in the process of making my handle out of curly birch ,thankyou for the good service. C w turner

I handled this blade in rosewood, trying to mimic a Mocotaugan style. Like all Svante Djarv kit it is a quality item. However, functionally the blade needs to be angled in two planes in relation to the tang. This would greatly improve handling. The blade could also be thinner. Fit a long handle if you will do any larger work (bowls, etc.) as this allows a powerful, lever-stroke using a two-handed grip.

Nice sturdy blade, looks great on the curved arctic birch handle I've made for it. Good quality example of a hard to get traditional tool. Works well on green or seasoned wood, just what you'd expect from a good quality maker.
