NEW LEATHER TYPE See Photos!
We hope to offer different variants in the future.
I know you have never, ever, ever missed a strike with your axe, and that ONE TIME you were slightly off it definitely wasn't so far off that your handle made contact with the wood you were splitting.
I wish I was as good as you with an axe however, for me, overstrike collars have been a worthwhile investment.
They aren't going to save your axe from being run over by a car or trampled on by a bull moose but they will help protect your handle from the occasional misplaced strike.
You either spent time and energy hanging your axe on your handle or you bought an axe and you don't want to spend the time and energy rehanging it on a new handle until you absolutely have to.
Either way, we can agree that anything that helps a handle last longer is something worth considering.
These handmade leather collars by Badger Claw Leather will do just that. They will help keep your axe handle looking better and lasting longer.
These are universal and will fit most axes. The strip of leather is included to allow the leather to be attached to the handle right below the head.
Proudly Made in the USA!

So first off, totally worth it, better than most others out there! The only Negative point was that it was not as pictured (and I couldn't figure out what New Pictures the "NEW LEATHER TYPE See Photos!" statement was referring too). Mine arrived with a sloped top edge (that scrap piece laying on the square) that prevented it from sitting snuggly up against the Axe Head (a #2 Council Tool Hudson Bay Axe) and made it look awkward. It was no problem to trim it to shape and didn't warrant taking a star off. The leather is thicker and the lace is wider and stronger than most of the Amazon offering that I have seen, so it should hold up quite well. I am totally pleased with my purchase, and would strongly consider it again, if I need another one. Thanks Brandon!
To be honest, I don’t think it was worth $28. It doesn’t follow the shape of axe head , it’s basically a square piece of leather with holes in it.
This collar was just what I needed as I have several people just learning the joys of using axes. Their enthusiasm is greater than their skill for now and the collar did an excellent job of protecting the handle. And the leather looks fantastic
Buy THIS one, NOT some BS from Amazon. For the price, you can't do better. Or buy some imported cheap **** and end up rehanging your axe later. Looks great too
Well once again very happy with my purchase a few wedges, card file etc…next purchase premium hickory handles!!
