Today, I went to the post office to retrieve what I thought was a a late Christmas present from Kris. She allowed me to purchase a John Neeman carving axe back in September. Unfortunately, what was in the package was a Baltic Viking Axe, a “Braveheart”.

The edge is sharp enough to shave with, and the runes on the handle are an old norse poem.

It’s so beautiful that I hate to send it back, but I don’t really need it, someone else is missing it, and I really do want that carving axe.

But that’s another story.

Cheers,
Tom
