It’s a life mask. Taken of Nelson when he had to travel across Europe by land.
Nothing wrong with collecting if that is all you are doing.
My objection, if you would call it that, is that a huge number of punters feel they need to fork out hundreds for knives, that are not ideal, simply because Mr Mears says that is what they need. It's a racket in my opinion and marketing terms like "Designed for professionals" are pure exploitation.
I suppose some people and their money are easily parted.
I've just parted with 50p at a boot sale for a beautiful, Sheffield steel pocket knife, twin tapered 1.7 - 1.4mm carbon steel blades that have stropped up razor sharp.
Old school craftsmanship of a bygone age. Made for amateurs like me.

I really like the blade design of this one, having handled one recently it’s a knife that has been really well thought out. The handle hasn’t changed much but it fits well in the hand, the lines are lovely and it cuts beautifully too, a lot of power when you need it and very manoeuvreable for fine work. I would buy one in a heartbeat if I had the spare cash, and that’s not because it holds any logo, it really is a good knife designed by someone who knows what they’re doing.
That said, I do have my heart set on the Lars Falt knife too, another design by someone who knows what they’re talking about.

I like the Lars Falt knife aswell but having met him in Sweden when he teaches he’s using a very different knife. He didn’t use a Scandinavian ground knife in fact.
I have a few pictures from that trip I’ll have a look on my old notebook., it was a simple flat ground knife with wooden scales. Standard in size. Since then I wondered that „his“ knife is advertised as more of a Woodlore like knife.
I think I know what it was. That’s his design too from around 15 years ago. I can’t remember the name.
Is that the one from uncle Rays sharpening video?
Honestly I don’t really know.. it looks very much like it but then again it’s a hunting knife with wooden scales. I was very much busy listing to all the Swedish talking. But I think it is the one. I don’t know the weight I haven’t held it .
Original Lars Fält knife was made by Kay Embretsen

Quite stunning this one, it's Guys take on the Lars Falt knife in RWL-34. Lars is or was the survival instructors for the Swedish army, this is the knife he designed and was used by all the instructors, most will know he is good friend of Mr R Mears, you can see Ray sharpening the Falt knife in...
