New axe Sheathes.

[dwardo]

Hi all,

I have recently have managed to burn, shrink, slice and loose preey much all three of my axe sheathes So it was about time to replace them. Its been a while since i have tried any leather work so recently managed to save a few squid and ordered some leather from le`prevo Only had to replace two as the SFA sheath that shrunk now fits my hatchet

They are in 3mm Veg tan with clips double sitch and brass rivets. One is meant to carry on the belt and both are hopefully going to be ME proof. Photos are from a cheap camera sorry.

Very neat those.
I found the standard Gransfors masks got a bit of a hammering too, so like you; I replaced mine with home mades.
I like rivets on thing's but I never use them
Buxxxred if I know why, much sturdier than stitching for heavy use items.
I'm off to leprevo in the morning, I'll have to see what it''ll cost me to have a go at rivets myself
Best wishes
Steve

The rivets are very cheap and easy to use give them a shot

They are also a lot quicker that stitching which is handy when you got through them at the pace i do
