I spent a lot of time in the jungle and the bush. Always wore a knife strapped to my leg. Things get caught up real quick. Suit the sheath to the purpose
These handles look easy enough to make. The image posted is basically a small blanket roll. Other images I've seen are just a long leather cuff with a carry handle
Take a look at shoulder straps for carrying dual cameras. That may give you a few ideas as to the straps. As to how to fix the axe to the straps let me know how it goes. Cause I want one!
Thanks, I was going for a rough look. I used an old belt as the leg tie down and yeah its pretty heavy duty and works great! im happy with it for a prototype
