    Thinking of replacing it with some Fire cord. Just to have the backup tinder with me. Feels good for the close work though.

    You are correct. I was thinking it was something stitch, but I looked it up and I was wrong.

    Thanks! Saint Patrick's Day Edition.

    Yup comes with a leather cover. Funny story, when I got mine the final design for the mask wasn't done...so I still have no idea what it looks like. Hahahaha!

    Here and there...
    OK... For those who actually have one of these already or know... How big is the wrist strap/ hanging hole/ hole at the bottom of the handle? I am assuming it is atleast large enough to put 550 cord through.. But does it appear you could put a little thicker cord through for a thicker wrist strap?? ( I’m not a big fan of thinner straps on larger knives and axes...)

    Has anyone seen a ESEE video yet on sharpening this axe OR is ESEE planning a future video on axe sharpening??..

    @shaneadams90 If it is to small would I run into potential warranty issues if I needed to send it in and I had drilled the hole out slightly larger closer to the 3/8 a inch size for my wants/ needs??...

    Similar hole to what you would find in all our other fixed blades save for a few exceptions (Izula, pinch, Candiru...)

    Blade sharpens up just like the James Gibson video on our YouTube channel and responds well to a strop.

    We want to do a better quality job of a sharpening video...I shot the other one on Day 4 of a Survival Intensive...James hadn't had much sleep or much to eat for that matter...it's horrible quality but great content....we will do a better job at some point.

    James won't care and neither will we as long as you BUY ONE!

    So far I’ve only needed to strop mine. It still sliced good shavings and bites deep carving.
