The blade of my writer knife is about to be engraved.

The smith's friend wrote a poem, and he asked for my permission to put part of it on the blade in runes.

------------

Where once a bear had made his home,
a man now lives there, all alone.
Mead he drinks and honey eats,
and runs faster than any beast.
But now and then, some men have said,
the bear returns to his old bed.
And sleeping there beside the fire,
his hunger grows, his growling dire.
And forest-men, when passing there,
are terrified of that old bear.
With unstrung bows and heads hung low,
they softly walk through the meadow.
They do not dare to hunt with hounds,
and are careful to make no sounds.
And when they see the fearsome bear,
they know they are alone out there.
For never when the beast does roam,
can the bee-man be found at home

----------

The blade will have some inlaid silver too, for supernatural beasties and such.

For the rest of my career, this will be the blade I bring to book signings and appearances. This is a dream come true, and I'm really happy I can share it with all of you. :)
