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

 :D :drink:

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.

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

Eventually.
Someday.

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 :think:
if you fall? two sharpies together and the fashion police will get you? :P

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 :-\

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 :-\

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.

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.

Much easier to just use duct tape...just remember to shave first unless you want a home-made Brazilian :o

I prefer a setup like the Gerber Gator combo. It is a hatchet with the knife in the handle held in by a magnet.

ive sen the gatpr combo too but ive heard that all gator-series products are those far-east made,not so hi quality as the other gerber axes are.and how can u trust a magnet which is holdin a knife?so it doesnt drop off the handle in any circumstance.

miko I got to say the best way to get a nice combo Is just to buy both Items and have a sheath made up. This way you really dont have to settle for anything you dont like. You can have the Axx and knife that suits you.
