Thank you for dropping by the Wessex Blades website!
      Order Book is OPEN for selected models...Do check above for  BLADES/WORK AVAILABLE as occasional blades are put up on YouTube and on here... I truly value each of the thousand or so visitors I get each week, and am blessed with so many returning customer orders, with my tools being used by Mike from TA Outdoors and Zed Shah from Zed Outdoors, Stuart Lowe from Outdoor Basics as well as featuring on the National Geographic documentary "Preppers UK 2".
     With such overwhelming interest in my work over the years the back log actually reached around a 56 month backlog, however I am working to get this cleared, so please understand as I am striving constantly to get through all these orders that emails can only be answered from existing customers who are patiently waiting, however, to be efficient I add production work into the batches so there may be work available. This is about the only way to purchase something "Wessex" without waiting around the 4 year wait time, please do check using the above tabs...
    A great way to keep up with both my workshop production and to engage, is to subscribe to either/both my YouTube/Instagram where you can leave comments on projects you like/new developments and get a feel for my work and passion as I continually evolve the outcomes to ever higher levels. Links to my social media are in the above tool bar...

Also you can support Wessex Blades through tee shirt/hoodie purchases by using the drop down links above under "RANGE"...you may notice I have reigned in the MOD knife work, these have been notoriously time consuming chasing their uneven grinds and not really financially viable with such a full order book.

I would like to convey my thanks to my customers both established and newly joined for their patience and understanding as I continue to work my way through your projects....once re-opened custom work ordering can also be done on a face to face basis at the Summer shows etc. for the precise order details/age checks, please email should you be unable to attend these Gatherings, there may also be "Blades Available" please use the drop down menu to view!
​There are also a few items available, please use the drop down menu under the "MORE" section, many thanks...
Please understand all emails to wessexbladesuk@yahoo.com are to arrange an age check prior to other details such as address, and now not for free advice.
The "buttons" above will navigate you to my existing range/available work/ ferro rods...

Wessex Blades, English Knives and Outdoor Tools made performance and toughness in mind since 2009, Full Time from 2014.
Please click on "My Range" above to view presold examples of my models including the Merlin, DaneLore, Golok, Leuku and Puukko, as you will see, I create so much more than WoodLore clones.
I constantly seek to enhance and improve any aspect of my work so sheaths for example will be continually evolving with foldover top options, tooled motifs, double row of hand stitching.
The steels I use are also a step away from the usual O1, I use 52100 for my basic carbon steel, CS75 for the camp choppers, both of which I invest in a partial bainite process imparting extra toughness and then on the large blades I relieve the spines to reintroduce "spring" for heavy work. As of June 2017 I now have a few models in  Elmax, a 3rd gen powder steel stainless!
    With over 25 years experience in manufacturing, engineering and education I became one of the first "how to you tubers" of knife making before focussing on making distinctive, tough tools and carry systems for use in the outdoors...
