“Woody’s would like to emphasise that we do not and never have sold knives on the internet, as we believe that it is the Prime Source of knives getting into the hands of persons under the age of 18.”

We at Woody’s have been responsibly selling knives both to individuals and the film industry for over forty years. Everyone needs a knife of some sort be it for eating and preparing food, cutting string, opening parcels or difficult packaging, the list goes on and on. Whether for use in work or when hunting, filleting fish, bush craft, or survival training the right pattern of hunting knife can fill these basic needs.

Just as with all good tools a knife has to be handled to appreciate the balance, grip comfort and functional qualities. We at Woody’s appreciate how important this is and our extensive in store knives for hunters range allows the discerning purchaser to make the right choice. Many of our knives are sold to collectors who will often travel many miles to make a decision to buy from such a huge choice. Our hunting knife selection features knives from many of the world’s best knife makers. Boker, Buck, Helle, Cold Steel, Gerber, Muela, Opinel, Rui, Puma, Spyderco, Swiss Army, William Rogers to name but a few.

Whatever your hunting knife requirement might be potential customers will always find a visit to Woody’s worthwhile where they can browse and purchase from our extensive selection.

When you make a purchase from Woody’s the item/s will be wrapped, sealed and then a sticker applied to the package upon which the date and time of the sale is written. Should the need arise, our customers can then prove the exact date and time when they purchased the item.
If you are under 25 years of age, you will be asked to sign to the effect that you will not give or sell the knife on to a person under the age of 18.

A quick word about steel

The word’s “stainless steel” are misleading because it is a fact that all steel will stain or show discolouration if left in adverse conditions for a sufficient time. Steel is made “stainless” by adding Chromium and thereby reducing the Carbon content during the smelting process. There is a significant performance trade off with stainless steel. As the Chromium increases and the Carbon content decreases, the steel does become more “stainless” however unfortunately the steel now becomes much more difficult to sharpen plus the important edge holding potential is seriously impaired.

Many of the top quality hunting knife makers use special steels chosen to give the right blend of “stainless” plus edge holding properties. Exactly what they use can be a closely guarded secret that they will not divulge. The 420 and 440 series of stainless steels are a popular choice for the more reasonably priced knives however AUS 8A is often used by many of the better quality makers.

We keep a range of “Damascus” steel knives which we find are very popular with collectors. This very old system of steel making involves the process of folding and forging the steel to create a multilayered blade. The result produces a knife with good edge retention properties with the added benefit that the pattern is extremely pleasing to the eye. Buyers should be aware that some knives, whilst appearing to be made by the Damascus process are in fact not, as a pattern can be etched on by the use of acid.
