"Never Give In"

   "This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."


"If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it the third time — a tremendous whack."


"Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry."

Stunning pieces. I've been thinking I should save up for a quality, hand-made knife.

One day I hope to save enough to get a hand made Saxon knife. ..To think in early history we were masters knife makers and sword-smiths. And during the industrial revolution England led the world knive making. Even the Bowie knives ( actually a slight adaptation of a seax) were made in England because the English were the best. Now we have very have few knife makers makers left.

I'd love a seax and I've seen the one I want (which has runic engravings) at the MGF in Shropshire. Weston park is very close to me I can hear the V festival music when I'm trying to get some bloody sleep.

I'd prefer a English one but Fallkniven make some stunning survival knives.

Your rights US, unless someone is loaded with money its is best to have a good think on what type of seax you want before for buying. Otherwise you can end buying one, then later seeing one which you would prefer to have but now cannot afford. An expensive mistake.

Quite like this knife and I dont think it's to costly for a carbon spring steel blade.

Not a bad price at all.

"At first glance some seaxes can seem ungainly but as you adjust to their form they show a certain brutal elegance. The seax has taken a special place in my heart, particularly the Anglo Saxon Broken Back Seax whose influence can be seen in knives throughout the ages, culminating in the North American Bowie knife."
