I like Mears more than any other survival "personality".
 
I really like watching his videos. Very informative and entertaining too.

And man is it some beautiful country too.

Yup, I'm a big fan. The Sweden stuff was especially fun to watch. Mears presents his stuff in a really amazing way. It's accessible to both a non-woodsy person and die-hards. But more importantly, he is not at all condescending or insulting about conservationist ideals. Lots of others are (or can be).

And seeing him with that GB SFA in those videos makes me want to get the Wetterlings equivalent in a baaaad way. :D
 
One of the things that make Sweden so beautiful is the law of Allemansrätt - which basically means that everyone has access to almost anywhere in nature.

ps. Thanks for the link to the vids.

Think you could do me a big favor? I'd love getting the dimensions on that woodlore handle. Thickness at the [front] swell, and at the dip for the pinkie?
 
Thats my favourite Mears episode too :thumbup: I've visited Sweden many many times, and Ive always liked both the country, and the people.

Allmansrätt / allemannsretten / jokamiehenoikeus... For once, people making up the laws got something right! :D

Blade thickness at the "R" in the logo is 0.157
At the forward pin it is 0.893
At the palm swell it is 0.983
At the rear pin it is 0.823
At the rear tube it is 0.800
Butt end flare is 0.975

Fills my large paw perfectly and absolute positive grip.
 
Thanks man! That was the thickness I was suspecting (hoping for?). Certainly to my liking. :D Again, I appreciate it!

Does anyone else hate Mears for getting PAID to do that stuff? ;)

I hate him for the long knife sharpening episode (3 parts on you tube) that had me drooling over the Woodlore! Like a sucker...i took the bait!
I'd have just waited until my name came up on the 10 year waiting list but I might not be here in 10 years :foot:. EbayUK will be starting their new knife rules soon so I figured I better grab one now whilst I can.
It really is such a basic scandi knife but it has all the right dimensions and is quite impressive.
