got a spyderwolf for Christmas 2018 and Its smaller in the hand than I was expecting but its a lovely sidekick to my full tang mora and that compression lock is really strong. yes its expensive but I have something to treasure now. thanks Ray!

[@whiskeyriver4322]

Ray....... you're the best guy out there, for doing what you do. Don't fuck it up by becoming a Marketing & Cash Hound!!! It doesn't suit you. Leave this shit to morons like Les and Bear, and stick to your amazing roots! Nuff said........

Im a big fan of Ray Mears and I think if this is HIS brand and not just a random steel he puts his name on then theres nothing wrong with it.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

So looking forward to getting my Wolfspyder for Christmas, it will be perfect for little jobs (I keep my Mora handy for the bigger ones) Not sure if Ray ever reads these comments but just to say you have shown me so much over the years and given me inspiration, if I ever meet you the beer is on me. all the best from mountain bear outdoors UK

[@nolangaudreau]

Love how it's made in the US. More production needs to move back here.

[@worddunlap]

Looks perfectly fine. My carving skill is limited to a pointy stick so my $50 knife is more than enough but if I was a Spyderco fan or a collector I'd want it. Thank you for having it made in America. FYI we can have knives with bigger blades in most states here. Anything under 6 inches is a little girls toy.

[@Snowhawk0]

My favorit spyderco knife! Got 2 Wolfspyders ;)

[@Waldwaerts]

I always wondered what Captain America actually is doing when he doesn't hang out with Tony Stark O_ó

[@slippinggnome]

he got himself a job at one of Tony's factories. Being a hero doesn't pay them bills

[@joeygonzo]

+Waldwärts Looks like Buddy Hacket had a son with Rita Moreno.

[@SkogKniv]

hahaha listen to all the haters in here. Looks cool Woodlore, and an interesting branching out. Ill probably be grabbing one at some point.

[@williamgreen3492]

yeah, there are too many whiners. what's wrong with a bushcraft company selling a knife?

[@SkogKniv]

+the oncoming storm I can only imagine the cost of retooling equipment to do a small run of knives compared to everything else they do. Not to mention covering the knives under their warranty, and their very tight qc standards. 200 does not seem out of the question.

[@williamgreen3492]

+the oncoming storm you make a good point. it is better to just not buy the knife and move on, instead of complaining, is what I was getting at in my other comment.BTW probably it's so expensive because it's ray mears brand. kit thats branded tends to be more expensive. go see bear grylls geber, like 60 quid for a multi tool, and it's fixed blades are actually not very good, and his "ultimate pro fixed blade" (not making this up) is £119, that's 168 dollars. One of the excellent top of the range stainless mora knives is ten quid, however the super speshul branded BG one is 120. all about the stuff written on the side bruv.

[@williamgreen3492]

+the oncoming storm don't worry about bad language mate, not a problem bruv (;

[@SkogKniv]

+the oncoming storm I think the part you are forgetting is that $200 may not seem unreasonable to others. Not everyones idea of expensive is the same. That doesn't make them brainwashed man. Either way that's their cost and everyone has to deal with it or not hahaha.

[@Hudson4426]

Looks similar to the finn wolf

[@ernststavroblofeld2109]

I like Captain America's haircut. 👍🏻

[@BushcraftQuebec]

looks good

[@survivalbushcraftwithemelie]

Wow!

[@RichardBuckerCodes]

nice looking knife but it's very expensive. I really like my scandi grind knives but that are all fixed. An EDC folder would be nice.

[@robroberts1473]

if its got ray mears name on it you know the quality is first rate.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Nice one guys.

[@zzzzz77771]

You have to be a millionaire to buy anything from Ray Mear`s store. The prices are absolutely absurd.

[@RodrigoFreitasRF]

Fantastic!

[@UrwahK]

If it isnt fully tang, i aint buying

[@ElectricityTaster]

+Urwah It's a folding knife. The closest full-tang you'll have on a folding knife is using it to cut a tangerine.

[@UrwahK]

+agun17 really.... I couldnt tell.... I thought it was a fixed blade 😱😑

[@W_H_K]

Add this to the £500 Alan Wood knife in O1 steel and you have a good money maker. No knife is worth £500. (US$610; AU$800) Names are worth money, to the gullible; but not to those who actually use real tools themselves.

[@tedmears]

i have watched a very early video of Ray Mears teaching the Swedish army and he said if he seen a student with a folding knife he takes it off them straight away because a folding knife can't cause severe injury.

[@BushcraftQuebec]

+Ted Mears (bear bushcraft) swiss army knifes are jokes i rather have something made in usa like a leatherman multi tool or this Spyderco knife ,WolfSpyder Knife looks good for wood carving to me :)

[@albertptran]

Nice

[@rustyshackleford17]

It'll be interesting to see how S30V will hold up on a scandi grind. I'm unaware of any others that have done this.

[@snakeplissken83]

+Rusty Shackleford Enzo. And they are no more chippy than any other relatively hard powder steel. I myself have a Cosmo custom in S35vn, scandi ground out of 7mm (just over a 1/4 inch) stock - it has never chipped on me.

[@aHigherPower]

right hand only?

[@mr.quiltworth845]

My next knife.

[@simonhopkins3867]

my next knife is going to be fixed blade and hand made. However Ray Mears Woodlore is just a brand making money. It makes the world go round.

[@grizzlycountry1030]

Fastest way to make something way overpriced is by putting the ray mears name on it.

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

He’s worth it. His Woodlaw design knife is copied by many and is recognised as the classic knife for bushcraft. Unlike some he did not register the design so made no money out of it. I only have a copy as I simply can’t afford the original but the Wolf Spider is much more affordable and no more expensive than other quality folders.

[@m00nsplitter72]

There's nothing wrong with S30V; it's a very fine blade steel. There's nothing wrong with CNC-milled blade stock, frames or scales; this can be a highly efficient, consistent and quality determined method for machining parts. There's nothing wrong with the quality of Spyderco knives produced in either Golden or, for that matter, Taiwan. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with Scandi-ground blades. There's nothing wrong with frame-lock designed folding knives. The marriage of all these things together to produce this outdoor cutting tool is, however, a gross miscalculation.

[@ensom]

+M00nsplitter i suspect s30v might be a bit chippy, on such a scandi ground blade.. but i suppose that depends on the heat treatment. if they wanted to go stainless, i think cpm s35vn would probably be a better choice, and easier to maintain a scandi edge on as well.

[@iamtorcman]

I own 10 or so Spydercos, love their Bushcraft fixed blade, the blade shape on this looks good but the handle...not so much. I wish they would just translate their fixed blade bushcraft into folder form. Still this knife may feel better than it looks, i'll give it a chance if i ever get to paw one in person.

[@jelkel25]

What's the use in getting bent out of shape about a folder for? I've used work man's knives as folders (pruning, electricians, Opinel's) since I was a kid and they've never let me down as long as they're used for what a folders designed for. If you feel a $200 folder with Rays name on it is going to make you a better bush crafter then have at it!!

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

You’re not buying a knife, you’re buying Ray Mears’ name. Bloody ridiculous. There’s so many other options that are superior in functionality and easier on the wallet.

[@kitkit5450]

wow i just cant get over how he's put his name to some thing not made by hand! i that not wait ray is all about?

[@kaizoebara]

+Linsey Groves It's made by hand. Didn't you see how Captain America assembled it very carefully? He even double checked that everything was nice and straight and clean. Sheesh, some people...

[@kitkit5450]

+kaizoebara oh dont miss understand me it is sweet blade. id have one as a back up in my pac! but its ray he's hand made mam!!

[@houseclassics3747]

+Linsey Groves Your spelling is awesome, left school at 6?

[@Frank-ISG]

£140.00 quid - I don't think so

[@kin9karn4ge]

I like the knife but the fact that ray mears is english and that following is what got him to where he was the least he could do is give the peoplein england jobs to do this. Coz god dayum people strugglin over in the uk

[@adelarsen9776]

Vote UKIP

[@John..18]

Duncan Alexander,, yeah, man, us english are struggling,, also here in the UK, a knife has to be a non locking folder, with a blade under three inches. !! Go Ray, for being a true ambassador for England,,, Lmfao,, cheers, buddy,

Universal Kombat shit and unsafe. That’s why most carry a locked one that’s still under 3 inches in blade length. Then you can just act ignorant and say you though as long as it was over 3 inches and not fixed blade it was legal.

[@robertwatson5594]

Interesting to see part of the production process. But not UK legal carry. How about a friction folder?

[@franzb69]

i hate s30v. a bitch and a half to sharpen, sure it stays sharp for a good while but it is a crapper to get back up to sharp again.

[@rambill4254]

I can't believe they aren't wearing cut proof gloves

[@LeeSpitfirebushcraft]

Love my one. 🔪💎🇬🇧

[@PatOutdoorify]

Way too expensive..

[@fdsman]

Every bushcraft knife aside from a mora is expensive. Get used to it.

[@ReasonAboveEverything]

@@fdsman lol, no. It is too expensive.

[@azmalchowdhury]

any plan to come in portugal?

[@PerXX82]

Thanks for showing the process. What's the purpose of the hole in the blade?

[@Enkidu1701]

+PerXX82 I´d guess the hole is there so you can open the blade one handed using your thumb.

[@fog360]

Can you get this in a left handed ??? No one know ???

[@Iamthedudeman00]

Only available through this supplier? What?

[@BushmanLastOasis]

ray mears would put his name on a folding blade? He always advised against them as they can fail and cause inury ect.

[@Lars1540]

Spyderco has terrible customer service; the single worst I’ve ever experienced in fact! I would never support that company. Good luck to them. I hope they go out of business...

[@Lars1540]

You’re one of the few then. They are notorious for telling customers that defective knives are “within their tolerances” or “within spec” to avoid having to honor warranty claims. They have some of the worst business practices I’ve ever seen from a company, let alone a knife company.

[@kitkit5450]

its nice tho!

[@znozemprzezswiat]

nice ;)

[@DerangedSurvival]

What a sexy piece of metal, to much coin for this wild man though. -Eric

[@DerangedSurvival]

+thorin dyer I have the Gerber Gator

[@D00MTR33]

cool design but why s30v, did Spyderco learn nothing from the Nilakka? S30v is a good steel for a sec knife but it has poor edge stability due to high carbide content. This knife should have an O1, 52100 or even blade or if you want stainless (don't know why you would on a bushcraft knife) use Aeb-l, Sandvick steel's, lc200n or bd1/bd1n since they have better edge stability,lower carbide content and easier to sharpen.

[@jaredlanny03]

You may be right... but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss spyderco's stuff: i've had a lot of knives over the years, but I haven't found a better one than my Spyderco Native - sharpens relatively easily, stays sharp as a razor even through a lot of abuse: never had so much as a notch in the blade.They know their stuff.

[@D00MTR33]

Jared Harward I know Spyderco knows their stuff, I have about 15 spydies now and had many more. That said s30v isn't the best steel for low angles since it's a high carbide steel. I have a Nilakka and had issues with the zero grind(it's been documented as well) but after a few sharpening a and a micro bevel it's much better. There's a reason you see either carbon steel's or lower carbide stainless like Sandvik's steel on Scandi knives. It's because they can hold that type of edge better.

[@kitkit5450]

man!!

[@Edgunsuk]

Nice one ray an american brand knife and un ethical labor. way to support bushcraft Britain and skills. total sell out , if the flawed £600 woodlore was not bad enuff you go high tech and zero skill on us.

[@ExileMMO]

Im sorry, but that hole is gonna weaken that blade to no end. Its like 50% of the material gone.

[@volestoat]

if it wasnts for bushcraft the machine wouldent exist

[@bakdraft6578]

All Machine made, then WHY so pricey? Havta pay for those expensive machines?

[@gogeyeryuzune9095]

Just an illusion, but I see a bearded man through the spyder hole. He looks a bit like Rasputin.

[@gogeyeryuzune9095]

In the thumbnail of the video

[@jeffd3802]

S30 on a scandi grind on a folder?? Good luck. At least shouldve used s35

[@irekirek123]

cool can I get a free one please?

[@energybender550]

oh well since you asked so nicely of course! Spyderco will send you 10 free knives.

[@irekirek123]

kk thx

[@kitkit5450]

is

[@JamesMears76]

Not much good for left handed people

[@G36Jeff]

Why the wolf spider name. Just curious. I hate those things. There scary and ugly. I put my hand on one once and it jumped on me. I about died. Seriously I almost said F it and shit and shot myself

[@frankbutta9344]

That's one of the crappiest looking knives I've ever seen. What's the point? Mears ought to just make tie clips and put his name on it.

[@jtzoonie2552]

WTF

[@southwestbushcraft1935]
