THIS IS FOR ONE SHEATH ONLY...AXE NOT INCLUDED!
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ....apart from the wilderness axe sheath and one of the wildlife sheaths all the other available sheaths have a BLACK press stud and NOT brass as pictured...this is due to me currently being unable to source decent quality brass ones...for some reason a while back the manufacturer started making the studs differently and I refuse to use them on my products...luckily I had a significant stash of black ones so they are what I'm using for now....pic available on request if needed.
This listing is for one axe sheath, the choice is available in the drop down menu above. I only use top quality vegetable tanned full grain leather for these in the 3 to 4mm thickness range. I may use approx. 3mm for the smaller sheaths and up to 4mm for the larger ones. I cut and dye everything myself with Fiebings products and polish with brown finish. They are hand-stitched with black artificial sinew, have a thick welt to protect the stitching and a black press-stud.....and they're embossed with my makers mark! (the small hatchet sheaths are stamped on the back).
And also...for your information, the boring but important stuff!:
1...the pictures in this listing show various sheaths I've made in the past. Every hide I buy, and I buy from multiple leather dealers, takes dye and polish differently....sometimes a mix I make will appear darker on one hide and lighter on another. The images show slight variations and give you a good idea of what to expect.
2...On a few rare occasions out of the hundreds of sheaths I've sold, a customer has discovered slight fitting issues, usually with the strap. I like to make my sheaths as tight and snug as possible for obvious reasons. All of the sheaths I make are fitted to my own personal axes. Due to the fact that G.B. axes are also hand-made, now and again a small problem arises. Please don't be alarmed, it's been very rare and the problem has always been resolved within minutes....just drop me a line and we can go from there. Please do not try to force the sheath or make adjustments prior to contacting me!
