1844 Helko Werk USA Made Leather Axe Sheath Size Hatchet Black S121SBK

A little lighter brown than before. Very close holes for snug fit. A lot of my Axes have Helko Werk leather on them.

Well made, and fits as designed.,

Nice quality, heavy leather. Works as advertised.

Mileage will probably vary depending on what you're putting these on but mine fit my Estwing hatchet perfectly and the build quality is solid. Good thick leather that looks great. Easy and functional, seems to protect the blade well.

I love the old school feel, real leather, solid buckle, order forms that come with it are super cool. They need to put more effort into making sure it can't come off, as it is, it's very easy for it to come off inadvertently, hence the loss of a star.

Really nice materials and fit as promised. I’ll be buying more.

Very nice hatchet sheath for the money. It fit the Swiss Military surplus hatchet I bought it for fine. Large enough for a slightly bigger head but fits well.

This leather sheath is exactly what I was looking for, well except for the fact that in a perfect world I'd have been able to find a sheath that also had an incorporated leather boot for the pick end of my "True Temper Kelly Standard Kelly Works" 6Lbs axe head. It's a classic fireman's axe. This one is particularly old and scarred/pitted up, which I love. I'm not even sure they make this size axe anymore so I'd say my chances of finding a sheath that covers the front blade and the back pick of the axe are pretty slim. Lord knows I spent a lot of time hunting for one on the internet. The sheath arrived with the 1/8" thick leather sections built into a satisfyingly stiff construction, with tightly crimped (stainless steel?) fasteners. There's a 3rd strip of the 1/8" leather sandwiched inside the front and back panels of the sheath, this is for the blade endge to rest on, preventing the blade from making any contact with the fasteners. I even like that the sheath has a heat stamped (or otherwise pressed in) logo on the pretty side. The logo is attractive, in my opinion. On my axe the cutting/chopping blade is 5.25" long and it is hard to find a nice sheath/scabbard to fit over it, even more so with a belt long enough to wrap around the handle and reach back around to buckle tight. My axe is in the photos with the sheath installed. The axe is not finished yet (I'm working on it as a Christmas gift for my youngest brother) so the handle hasn't been permanently installed yet but I mocked it up to test the reach of the sheath's belt and it will fit. It will only be able to buckle down into the last 1 or 2 holes, or maybe eventually into the last 3 holes (because leather stretches), but that's perfect for me. I do plan to coat the sheath in the old blacksmith paste recipe of beeswax/turpentine/boiled-linseed oil but other than that (a purely optional step) this sheath is good to go right out of the box. Incredible price, as far as I'm concerned. I highly recommend it.

Bonne qualité. Merci!
