Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.


Essential Armor for Your Premium Axe.

Even the best bushcrafters miss sometimes. An "overstrike" occurs when the handle, rather than the blade, impacts the wood, often leading to splintering or a broken shaft. The Hultafors Overstrike Guard is your insurance policy against this common damage.

Handcrafted in Sweden, this leather collar protects the most vulnerable part of your axe handle while adding a rugged, traditional aesthetic that looks better with age.

Why You Need This Guard

  • Impact Protection: The thick leather absorbs the shock of an overstrike, saving your handle from cracking or severe abrasion.
  • Premium Swedish Leather: Made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather sourced from Swedish cows. It is manufactured with strict care for the environment and animal welfare.
  • Ages Beautifully: The natural treatment means the leather will develop a rich, unique patina the more you use it.
  • Secure Fit: Easily tied around the handle using the included durable leather cords.
