And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

You're correct about the collar, CW. You can buy rubber ones, plus, I've wrapped handles with insulated 12 gauge copper wire, too. You rarely need it for chopping, but splitting can be a different matter.
What's the leather collar for?
ReplyDeleteI don't rightly know. I imagine it's to protect the handle from mis hits.
DeleteExactly right.

ReplyDeleteFor proper protection, handle need to cover 8" or 20cm with leather , rubber or metal sheet ( steel).
