What keeps this from scratching the back of you axe? Do you need to add some sort of padding?

No, 3 hard plastic nibbs keep it from touching the majority of the brace.I have not noticed it wearing but over time three small spots might develop.No worse than buckel rash and it lets me play my basses (I bought 4 do far).

I would definitely add extra padding, they are just a tad bigger than the plates. I put padding in between but they still shift around just a little. So padding in between and around them to secure from breaking during moving.

Can't see any way to remove it but also can't see any reason you would want to. In a review I commented that I think it needs more padding not less.

I'm not clear about this question. I just put my finger in and slide it around to get rid of the bits of chafe that are clinging to the side. Is this one of those overthinking the problem things?

The problem with "backpacking" or "camping" axes, is that they are too light. That might be nice for carrying, but to effectively split or cut wood, you need some significant weight to the head of the axe. Also, hatchets/axes that are shorter than 16" or so, are pretty much useless.

No experience with that but you could put a non slip athletic equipment pad under it to keep it from sliding

None at all. I was very careful not to remove too much material and fit it very tight in the groove. I also used some of the lock tight after it was installed to seep around the edges.

None, if you don't over torque it. If its a gyp. Bd. Ceiling it might leave a indentation from over torqueing. Try to position it under a beam.if a indentation is made, the pad is about 2"×3"

I've not added anything other than the rubber pad from my old jack. The hockey puck has been a good solution for many for a long time. The newspaper is interesting, but may have limited reusability. I've used 2x4s, 2x6s, etc. and oriented the grains proper to avoid splitting. I also have interest in a better pad, but I haven't made a purchase or researched it yet. A quick look netted a few different designs. Then there are flat and dished/cupped for more general use, like what the hockey puck would do excepth they tend to come either attached to a new pintle or overlap the original pintle/saddle. The other common type has a groove(s) for use with pinch welds with same mounting options. Beyond that, there appear to be other more specialized versions out there. Now that I'm starting to search a little, I'd likely get one for the pinch weld as well as one or two of the flat and dished pads. While shopping for those, may as well plan to get something similar for jack stands!

I don't believe there is any padding involved. The entire structure seems to be molded wood (i.e., hard surface) with a painted exterior.

It's not padded however what I did was put a thick sheep's fur (it could be an imitation) on where the palms rest anchoring them with Velcro.My invention which I used on previous ergonomic keyboards before.

Yes there is a spot a the top corner of the sheath where the blade can poke out. I have actually cut my self by the corner of the axe . I suppose you could use a needle and thread to close the gap. For the product being as fine as it is it would be worth the extra maintenance to me. Seriously this is the best axe /hatchet I've ever owned

You'll need to either put it around something thicker or make a spacer (I made one for my saddle out of a block of wood). It should stay there fine but it'll wiggle around unless you wedge it

Asking about the support bar making an "x" in between? The bar thickness is small, I don't think padding it would be necessary. Don't have exact measurement sorry. I would recommend putting a thick padding underneath or make sure its laying on carpet. My son loves it! The support beams "x" have no affect on him whatsoever, he can't grab it because of the netting, its on the other side.

Plywood? Definitely. Anything tougher, like a two by four, would probably do some harm to the tang. I'Ve used cork board to practice trust aim, and there's no wear at all.

Use a towel, don't need anything if in a bag, board against board will lead to scratches and slippage when driving

The sheath only come with one belt loop, I tried it didn't feel comfortable. The way the axe come out I didn't like it, on my belt. It has 3 snaps 2 that wrap over and a snap in the end near the back side point of axe. I put a cantilever clip on it and clipped it to my day pack. Felt a lot safer taking out after that.The sheath is good for a canvass type. I will make a leather one down the road some day. Hope that helps, have fun be safe.
