Modular Leather Bushcraft Axe Sling With Vintage Norlund Saddle Cruiser, knife, flashlight, cup, water filter, first aid, firestarting, and fishing kits. All pouches and supplies included!
The custom leather work and all bushcraft components are new, the Norlund Saddle-Cruiser was gently restored.
All supply pouches can be moved around, added or subtracted as desired.
The axe is a very nice Norlund Saddle Cruiser that I carved a handle for out of Shagbark Hickory. I flame treated and oiled it with natural linseed before doing the wrap and lanyard in paracord, the lanyard bead is a ferro rod.
The sheath is formed leather and features a tin with a primitive fire starting kit. Including a striking ring, fat wood, char cloth, twine, and flint/chert arrowheads. (I like carrying flint arrowheads for striking. They are already sharp, sparking well, you can use the backside first sparing the tip, and they serve the double-function of having extra arrowheads with you.) It has 1” d-rings for the straps and two 3/4” utility d-rings, one of which can be used for the belt retainer. It’s double stitched, reinforced with rivets and has line 24 stainless steel buttons.
The shoulder strap has holes punched 1” on center for use with both the Conway Buckle and button studs. Being able to place button studs or Chicago screws anywhere allows you to easily remove and reposition the pouches and accessories, adding things as needed.
All the accessories are formed veg tanned leather with two-tone dark brown with black dye and edge paint, natural color thread, and the buttons are all hand polished stainless steel line 20 snaps.
There are a lot of them:
The neck knife if made from a chisel and the curved handle also doubles as a flint striker.
There is a 3” sharpening stone pouch.
The torch/flashlight holder can mount on the shoulder pad in a forward facing position or anywhere else vertically.
The fishing tackle kit consist of two small tins.I cut up some corks for floats and whittled a groove around the outside to use as a spool for line and to hold hooks.I also put a small sampling of supplies like weights, spinners and salmon beads in there but it is not yet filled or complete. In actuality, I’d probably suggest one for tackle and one for bait.
A square pouch for survival/first aid tin that is significantly larger than an Altoids tin. I was able to cram a mess of stuff into it including:
TegaDerm, Steri-Strips, Clotting powder, Gause pads, Tape, Mole Skin, Sunscreen, Aspirin(packaging may very), Antibiotic, burn, bug, and After Bite ointments, Band-Aids, Safety pins, Storm matches (striker on back of tin), etc.
The round tin was made with less of a specific purpose.
It could be an expanded fire kit with fat wood kindling, magnesium and a magnifying glass or for some emergency rations. I was also able to smash two protein bars into it. All components included.
The belt stay or loop with retaining strap also has extra paracord in a quick deploy wrap.
Water Filter Straw.
Compass.
Miscellaneous D rings for things like the metal cup or other things you may want to carry, both in single stud brown and black as well as a heavy duty one with double stud holes.
Sold thanks!
