CRKT Woods Chogan Leather Sheath: D2730

Klasse verarbeitet, da gibt's nix zu bekritteln

I read all the reviews on this sheath before purchasing for my Chogan Tomahawk and decided on this model. Some of the reviews that I read must have been written by some high end leather sheath users - as the comments on the poor leather construction was mentioned more than once. Most leather products are slightly stiff until broken in and this sheath is no exception. I had no problems with the quality of the leather, the stitching or the riveting of the individual leather components. I threw a quick paracord wrap on the Chogan handle just to see if I could use the sheath with it? Initially, the handle strap was too tight to go around the paracord wrap - but not by much. After working the sheath for flexibility and treating with Neatsfoot oil, it now fits nicely around the paracord handle wrap. The entire sheath is loosening up nicely. I have no doubt that this sheath will continue to loosen up and give many years of service. I love reading reviews and sometimes even leave my own - but you really have to take reviews with a grain of salt and make your own decisions.

Overall is passable, indeed as other reviews have said, the strap holding the handle is too tight, but it can be worked, lock the strap first, then push the strap from the bottom of the handle to about 3cm above the correct position, then use damp Wrap the belt with a towel until it's wet, then remove the wet towel and let the belt sit in the shade for a few hours to dry (no sun exposure and hot air speed). The straps will then be shaped to fit perfectly. On the dry and hard issue, I use Organic Camellia knife Oil to coat the entire sheath to make it soft and shiny, but this turns it dark brown. Overall I can only give this sheath a passing score, it has a lot to improve, and while some issues can be solved by yourself, obviously not everyone is willing to perfect the product at home. Also the leather responsible for the link is so thin that I highly doubt its durability. All in all, if you carry an axe in your backpack, I recommend it, it can protect other items in the backpack from being damaged by the axe, and if you are used to having an axe outside your backpack or on your belt, then I don't recommend it. Because its belt mount may be damaged.

Queda perfecto y broches ajustado sin juego... un poco grueso pero se ve resistente ...

Unlike their knives and tools this is poorly constructed. The leather is thinner than expected and very dry. The fastening that holds the hammer is very large and the one that holds the shaft doesn’t go round the handle, leading me to believe they are the wrong way round. I have taken axe head part off and solely use that, I doubt the belt loop would hold up vey long. Disappointed as the axe itself is very good.
