The included leather lace ensures that the collar will stay tightly fitted to the handle.

We carry Leather Oil and Leather Conditioning Paste, both of which will work well on leather products like this to maintain and condition the leather. The application is generally easy and simple. You can use small cloths to work either product into the leather. **Q: Will this fit a husqvarna 26" wooden multi-purpose axe?** A: I would think so.
