Re: axe and shovel

Post by w30bob » Thu Jun 22, 2017 9:04 am

Bringing back an old post, as it's the best I've found on the subject. I think I finally understand how the shovel handle strap is routed now, but have one more question. Is this particular strap a loose strap or does it have a loop that fastens to one of the footman loops like the strap for the axe head? I can't tell from the pic and the strap that came on my A1 is just a plain strap....meaning it's not attached on one end to a footman loop.

thanks,
bob

Hey Bob. It is attached to the screwed on footman loop.
