Axe is fine but the sheath is awful

Axe is fine but the sheath is awful
The axe is quality. It's a fine compromise between a splitting axe and a chopping axe. It does both well enough. The ferro rod is a nice added value, but I never keep it in the axe handle.The major complaint is with the sheath. For starters, it's a total pain to both remove and insert the axe. You have to do it juuust right or else the blade won't go in or come out. And last, as you can see by the pictures, the axe shifts around in the sheath. In fact, the axe naturally wants to lay in the sheath in such a way so that tha tip of the blade sticks out above the sheath, which is super dangerous. I could easily cut our gouge myself at worst. And at best, could tear my shirt or other gear. Several times my arm would catch the blade. I'm lucky I didn't cut myself.So, all in all, be prepared to make your own sheath. Schrade really should fix this design. It's a liability.
