one silly knife+axe combo sheath question.

[Tarrodemierda]

hey,are there any combos or sheaths like these around anywhere anymore,guys?

thats somethin un-ordinary to me,looks damn fine.

[Grant Lamontagne]

That looks like an accident waiting to happen.  In fact, that's a good name for that combo- The AX-Ident!

as i carry a fiskars axe and fixed blade on belt,that kind of combo would be nice,dont take so much space either.

well,if my deal with that jre sheath works great,and i find some steel shanked nice axe,maybe its time to pair it with some leuku,in sheath like that.i wish i had better sewing machine so i could do thru thick layers of leather myself.

The knife looks like a Western knife (I have one),but not the axe,see attached http://michigancustomknives.com/store_detail.cfm?product_id=263

Looks nice... I'll try making a sheath like that.

Eventually.
Someday.
When I actually try my hand at leatherworking. >_>

I'm with Grant on this one, it look's to be a bit of a handful, and probably an accident waiting to happen

Probably ok if you were just going to leave it in a car boot or something, but I wouldn't want to belt carry it

I'm kinda understanding, but not, why would you guys consider it an "accident" waiting to happen?
I'm thinking a knife next to an axe/together on you is not safe, but why? especially if it's a secure setup
if you fall? two sharpies together and the fashion police will get you?

I personally was thinking my CS shovel and a knife (my new Mudpuppy) would be a good combo;


a friend who makes sweet sheaths is just waiting my word.

A Kydex rig would probably be fine , but not leather, it  age's too badly for that sorta rig imo

ohh so your saying the old leather could have "penetration" problems!
well that makes sense.

Yep, and if you putting one tool back, you run the risk of your hand straying into contact with the sharp edge of the other tool

[Tarrodemierda]

well what ever your judgement is,you mean old men .ill give it a shot,i dont see it as dangerous at all,and as long as it has plastic liners,i dont think therw will be any mteal-to-metal contacts.

so all you voting against,send me those as you see em,collect those dangerous thingys away before someone hurts themselves

ooh thats in good condition.its a shame there aint new ones made any more...i think.set like that on your belt,combined with some firesteel on side,is quite nice as a hardcore survival kit too.

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

I think I'd make them separate...or as lest rig it so they can be separated.

Firesteel loop in the knife sheath and a pouch on the axe sheath for a sharpener.
