An amazing read with a bit of a duality in blades here.

I've been re-reading some Jack Reacher novels over the past few months. This one is one that I think I must have missed when it was originally published. The army calls Reacher back to help them hunt a sniper/assassin he first busted years before.

Well, it’s not a knife but it is a blade!

This is a treasured copy of The Brothers Karamazov. One of the first big 'must read before you die' books I read. It wasn't this copy though. My wife grabbed this one when she and her family were going through her Oma's posessions after she passed.

And not just any blade! A Billnäs 12.3 if i'm not mistaken. I've to get one and the book as well. Thanks for sharing.

And in mint condition ! I would give (almost) all my pocket knives for such an axe. Happy Man !

A Finnish guy acquires them and restores them. Mine is in very good condition but used with love. It really is fantastic work axe. Too big for camping but for work it’s perfect. If you are in instagram check out ”Finnish vintage axes”. He sells some from time to time. I’m not in insta anymore though.

They got a website too. I think you could find one by asking unless you like to trade your kidney or knife collection.

I've not yet made it through all of The Brothers Karamazov.
I have read what is supposedly a somewhat related book 2 or 3 times, though.

I honestly can't say I recommend reading the The Brothers Karamazov to everyone. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I did it, but it was toiling at times. War and Peace is sitting on my shelf for 'someday'. I figure reading Tolstoy's and Dostoevsky's magnum opus' will be worth it over the long haul. I've never heard of this one, might have to check it out!
