I think I have just acquired the 6th deadly sin, and broken the 'covet' commandment

A friend has a collection of similar knives - they've never been allowed to leave the display cabinet!

I've got a dose of idle curiosity here - have you got a link for further info about that axe blade Sarabande?

 

[Fr J Hackett]

I bet that it is very very very expensive and yes it looks fantastic, made in Sweden or Japan?

 

[SHUG]

WOW!!!!!

Wow!

 

[30boat]

Loved the video but the woman scared me a little!

 

[Croak]

I wasn't so keen on how the jolly axeman sharpened his axe with the sharpening stone.

I prefer to go away from the blade.

Show us your log cabin then.

I thought that, but then I thought "Hang on, he knows a damn sight more about sharpening axes than I do."

vary much agree

Literally, like, awesome

Absolutely - anyone who hasn't been humbled in awe at that vid... - and the woman looks more interesting than scary. You'd want to keep her on your side. Desert Island Video.

That is amazing - three tools to build an entire house (and I bet he could have used the only the axe if he felt like it)

Not sure how he wire in the flat screen TV with an axe though. After all, he wouldn't want to miss Wallender, the world's most miserable detective.

He'll have a Leatherman. Bound to.

We miss it already. When are the BBC going to show the later Swedish ones - I couldnt get into the Kenneth Branagh stuff at all.
