It's not that I would trade my lot
For any other man's,
Nor that I will be ashamed
Of my work torn hands-
For I have chosen the path I tread
Knowing it would be steep,
And I will take the joys thereof
And the consequences reap.

I'm really happy to add this unique seax to my collection, and can't wait for it to arrive! I'll say a thing or two about it once I have it in person - till then, thanks Ben, for creating these 'Pick your price' topics, and allowing us to have a good shot at owning a truly spectacular piece of functional art and craftsmanship.
