. But, unless great care is taken to protect them, then even the sharpest axe blade will blunt over the years.

With that, the second piece of leather is cut to form the other half of the sheath to make a sort of axe-head-shaped wallet.With the leather pieces now cut, the next step is to begin the process of making the sheath proper. The first step is to use special leather glue to glue the two halves of the axe head holder together.

With that done, the craftsman then cleans up the cut edges using a Dremel tool. Next, the edges of the leather are then trimmed down using a special leather bevelling fork.Next, the craftsman begins to add some decorative features to the outside surface of the leather using special cutting tools. The first is a series of channels to form a border parallel to the edges of the leather.

Next, another special tool is used to puncture a series of holes around the perimeter of the leather piece. These will be used to add the main stitching.With the holes pressed, the next step is to use a leather cord to stitch the main pieces of the leather sheath together. Like the rest of the work, this is another highly skilled practice that takes years of practice to master.With the stitching partially complete, the sheath is tested against the axe blade to ensure it fits.
