V-TAC Custom Leather Tactical Tomahawk Sheath

V-TAC Custom Leather Tactical Tomahawk Sheath

 

Tony called us up one day and asked us to make a pair of axe sheaths for his "tactical" axes.   I had never heard of a "tactical" axe before, so I couldn't wait to see them.

 Tony had pair of American Tomahawk V-TACs.  He wanted a functional and comfortable leather holster thang hung from a belt - slightly recessed - for easy and quick access.

  As soon as Tony showed me these Tactical Tomahawks, we said, “Heck Yeah! Let's do this!"   What a cool tool this thing is.  

We took Tony’s ideas for the design and brought them to life – TWICE!   Check it out!

For these sheaths, we wanted something a bit more firm and "stiff" that would provide durability, stability, and last a long time.   

Because of that, we chose an Oak Leaf leather from Tandy Leather for this project.  We  created a paper pattern, then traced it onto our leather.   Next, we hand-cut our Oak Leaf leather and dyed it with Fiebings Pro Oil Dye in black.

American Tomahawk V-TAC Custom Leather Axe Sheath To give this V-Tac custom leather tomahawk sheath the proper "ride height" for Tony, we created a belt loop on the back side.  For added durability, we used reinforced stitching patterns for a strong belt loop hold.
 On the Front side, we created a two-pocket, open-centered system for a quick release.  This way, when fastened, the axe can rest, securely in place - even when running.  

When you pull the cover and pop the black-chrome line 24 snaps, it's a quick reach down for the blade handle and out she comes!   Re-sheathing is also super easy.

We finished these sheaths off with black chrome snaps and gave it just a "hint" of a wet-mold to keep those sharp axes held in place with confidence.  

Black leather, black #277 Bonded Nylon stitching, and black chrome snaps rounds out this cool-looking pair of functional custom leather holsters for the American Tomahawk V-TAC.  

Thank you for this cool project, Tony!
