Don't know about you guys... but I need all the protection I can get. Put this leather haft guard in place on a trade axe I am working on...simple way to protect your tool.. And here is the stitching method... Pease | ||

That's a great idea, think I will do the same might just save myself a handle or two. That's a nice baseball stitch by the way. | |||

Think the next time, I will use a piece of thick rawhide...wet it and let it dry/shrink in place... Pease | |||

Good idea and it looks good too. I have piece of rawhide that should work just fine. I will have to try it out. BC "Better fare hard with good men than feast it with bad." Thomas Paine | |||

Pease, One question- does the attached guard fit well within the carring sheath/axe guard? Does it interfer in getting the axe out of and back into the carrying sheath? I am assuming you carry your axe in a belt or sling type sheath. Talltree Keep your tail high and dry! | |||

Neither,... It is for my haversack knapsack conversion. | |||

That's a nice idea, Pease. Many's the time I've swung with my axe and damaged the wood right under the blade by an inacurate blow. (I'm a better aim now! ) That leather would, for the most part, prevent that. Great thinking. "Return unto me, and I will return unto you," saith the Lord of hosts. ~Malachi 3:7b | |||
