Protect your hatchet handle with this full-grain leather guard, handcrafted in the USA by Shankle Homestead Leatherworks. Designed to lace securely onto the front of your hatchet handle just below the head, this guard shields against mis-strikes when chopping kindling or working on campcraft projects.

This universal fit guard works with nearly all handheld hatchets. Simply fold it across the front of the handle and lace it tightly along the back using paracord—just like a shoelace. For easy installation, check out the instructional video below.

A leather handle guard not only protects your hatchet from chips and scratches but also enhances the tool’s overall aesthetic, giving it a rugged, timeworn look.
