Overstrikes can happen, and with the cost of the are, I figured this would be a great addition for some extra assurance.I was wrong. The guard slips when the axe is actually used. The leather lace is very weak, dry, and a royal pain to thread. This could have been fixed if they used slightly better leather, and dipped the ends in a resin to make them harder for threading.I tried the first time to follow their instructional video, and tied as tightly as I could, but the guard slipped down while felling a tree. I then soaked the leather in warm water to stretch it, tied it as tightly as possible, and it still slips... unfortunately, the leather they've used is just very soft and stretches too easily. And, now my handle is stained, and will need to be sanded to bring back to factory color.Unfortunately, I wasted my money. If you are looking for a guard for looks only, this is a great piece, but it is not functional at all. ### ⭐⭐⭐ They need to make a REAL instruction video on lacing! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019* This is a well-made product. It covers and protects the upper handle of my GB Small Forest Axe pretty well. The fit on one side perfectly matches the shape of the axe head, while on the other side, not so well. With this stated, it is more esthetics, and does it's job, overall.My issue is that a product, costing as much as this does, should have better lacing instructions.The only option they give you is to watch some marketing video, and after 5 minutes, watch video images of somebody lacing this on. The problem is that there is no narration stating details of how to do this, whatsoever, and any shots showing the project at various stages, are quick, elusive shots, instantly blocked by a hand, that move on to the next step.Guys: Its nice that somebody can make a nice video of your product, but is it really too much to ask to just show the process a little better. Pause the shot long enough for one of us non-experts to see which pattern the laces should be. Maybe a little narration?The person in the video likes to talk about the product when showing it off. How about a little instruction?Workmanship is great, -1 for the fit of the guard against the axe head, and -1 for no real value in what they call a 'how to lace' video. ### ⭐⭐ For aesthetic purposes only. *by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2021* For aesthetic purposes only. The guard looks attractive on the axe, but as others have said, it doesn’t protect the handle from missed strikes. The leather lace included for lashing cannot be pulled tight enough for proper binding, so the guard slips down the handle when in use. This was corrected with para cord and some clever placement of adhesive. The leather does cause permanent staining of the handle, which is a shame. The American Hickory is so beautiful and is the reason for the need for protection, as this guard is meant to provide. It fails to do so. If you display your axe or just bought to impress your buddies, you will be pleased. If you use the axe for actual work, then expect some disappointment and frustration. I am not returning the guard. It is as described. In theory it was a good investment. Practically, it was a waste of money. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/67824179-leather-axe-handle-guard-collar-wetterlings-bushman-by-les-stroud](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/67824179-leather-axe-handle-guard-collar-wetterlings-bushman-by-les-stroud) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
