Okay, here we go.

"My name is Red. I have an obsession with edged tools - particularly axes."

Thats the group therapy bit out of the way ;)

Recently I became one of the fortunate few to own a Lee Reeves Nessmuk ground double bit. It cam with a very good belt sheath. A very good belt sheath - welted, stitched etc.

It wasn't enough though. So I asked "the man" to make something worthy of this epitome of the art. It had to be able to be belt carried - the axe only weighs 500g and is realistically practical for belt carry. The rules were

1. I had to be able to put it on and take it off without undoing the belt
2. It had to incorporate "D" rings for berga tie points or baldric carry
3. It had to allow one handed removal - this is clearly a challenge with a double bit
4. It had to be suitably decorative to reflect the care and skill put into the axe

Singteck - take a bow mate! :You_Rock_

What do you think guys?

a very fine combination of superb craftmanship and the beauty. The best bit though Red is I know you will use it for what it is designed for and not put it away with a collection of shiny things that will only get polished
