    Oh man. I don’t know what it is about a finely crafted axe that I like so much. I should probably just stop there. But I can’t. I just love axes, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

    These beautiful axes are apparently Swiss Army surplus, and are decades old and handsome as hell. They’ve also just gotten a price reduction, because apparently people don’t recognize a good axe when they see one. Well, I do, and I just bought one. What do you think of that?

    You can also get a nice-looking waxed-canvas log carrier. I didn’t go in for that, though. Our woodpile is pretty close.

    Update: Oh nooo! They’re sold out! Well, I got mine.
