A sheath that would strap on to a pack would be pretty handy.

Looks good.  Make sure it is thick enough at the end to Hammer an occasional nail.  Also a nail pulling notch would be nice.

Now that would come in really handy.  Good looking to boot!

I like the idea of Mushing out the back edge a bit for better hammering.  Looks sweet.

I think this would make an excellent ax to rough out a selfbow from a stave.  Thin, light, and sharp, easy to control.

Thanks for all the feedback so far! You all have shared some great ideas. It will be interesting to see the development of this axe and the sheath/s that end up for sale. Thanks again!!  Todd    :archer2:

Very nice rustic look.  Great for use hanging stands and for short work at camp. A belt sheath would be good.  Also maybe a slip sheath on the back of the Asbell haversack.

A sheath that straps to pack or belt and a hammer end is a good idea.

GOOD LOOKING AXE!
Size seems about right.

I'd vote for keeping it one sided...never know when a make shift hammer could be needed.

I prefer a bit of a hook or horn or whatever it's called on the end of a hand axe handle...really helps on cold or wet days especially with thick gloves.

I think having a good sturdy loop on one of the sheath designs would be great...or at least a "belt loop" going the other way so a vertical strap could be used.

I will be honest and say I didn't read 7 pages of opinions.


I would like to see a hole in the bottom handle to accommodate a leather strap. I have a 4" scar on my right leg as the result of a hatchet that came out of my hand.    :banghead:    


A shoulder sheath could be an accessory item you could carry. And or a hip sheath.

I like the 10" length. Easy to pack and will work decent enough.  

Look like another great product to offer   :)

This hatchet is the perfect size and the chest or shoulder strap is an excellent idea...

Thank you, Alan

I would keep one of those behind the truck seat.

Took the words right out of my mouth!      :clapper:   Should be a good one!
