It explains the optional items attached to the ax.
There is nothing special to mention, but let's keep it in a corner of your head by just skimming it.

Neck guard

A cover attached to prevent firewood from hitting the neck and causing damage or damage, which is often the case with damage to wooden handles.
Basically, it is made to fit the shape of the neck, so it is a special item, but there are cases where people who are good at leather crafting sell it for axes of famous manufacturers who want to make their own.

Also, the neck guard is a special item and is not cheap, so it is common to wrap the paracord that everyone has as a substitute for the neck guard at the camp boundary.

The neck guard is there to prevent damage to the tree, so you don't need it with a sturdy plastic handle.

cover

Blade protection cover.
Basically, it comes with the purchase, but there are many simple items, so some people buy new ones to suit their tastes.

Basically, wooden handles have leather covers, and plastic handles have plastic or cloth covers.
Some plastic covers have a handle that makes them easy to carry.
Many people make their own leather crafts for ax with a wooden handle, and maintenance of the cover is one of the pleasures of the ax for some people.

It is made according to the size of the blade, and there are general-purpose products as well as specialized products from manufacturers.
In addition, there are various fixing methods depending on the object, and preferences are also different.

When camping, you don't carry an ax on your body, and even in bushcraft, it's rare to wear it all the time.
