Having a camp axe is great, but trying to carry it on my person without cutting or slicing myself open while in the bush is a risk I'm not willing to take, so I decided to make a blade cover out of leather, dyed and tooled with the same Numenorian/Gondorian designs as the camp axe handle sleeves.
Hey, if it's going to be a set, it might as well match aesthetically. I'll be making the belt carrier next to compliment the axe and blade cover, so stay tuned.

Beautiful work, absolutely well done! Is that a CRKT hatchet? Your hand has placed it right into Middle Earth! 
...in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.
