I don't understand how you use this. I don't see an opening for the axe handle. Do you leave it on unsnapped?

The axe or hatchet handle does not get involved. Unsnap, pull down over the top of the head, like a sock, and snap closed.

The handle of your axe or hatchet does not get involved. Unsnap, pull down over the top of the head, snap closed. Work from the top down, not the handle up.

On the blade end of the handle there should be a little black plastic piece blocking the knife from closing. Push that back to the side it comes from

I don't collapse the handle to hang it, I leave it extended. I will upload pictures on the site to show this, but basically I can hang it by the top of the handle, just put the hook between the handle and the lever, so that it doesn't pull on the lever, OR you can hang it by the middle bar if you have exposed studs (the pictures will show how to do this).

I bought 2 of them the first one open right up the second one didn't. On the left side close to top use a small screw driver or nail file to pop open the handle.Then once you get open do not close it.

I'm planning on wrapping my handle with some hockey tape or something with some grip to it (amazon B000O70K5Y or something like that) - anyone here tried that with an axe?

It is a little tricky but mine opens and closes. After inspecting it I see that as you may suspect, turning the handle right tightens it and left loosens it. Yours must be initially stuck. I bet if you can get it to open once you won't have any trouble the next time. ;)

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

The handle is wood, press fit into the aluminum base. the aluminum is dimpled into the wood. It would be possible to loosen and remove the wood handle and install a longer wood handle or even find some aluminum tubing that fit snuggly over the wood and extend it that way. It might be easier to find a tool with a longer handle but if you can't it would be possible to modify this one.

If you are just looking to pull the slide out with the blade on it, you should just be able to pull up on the slide using the handle. If its the bottom ones they should just slide out. If you are looking to remove the blade from the slide itself, I have not done that so I am not sure.

There is a grip ' a handle and a blade. The grip makes up for the rest of the axe.

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

The handle was already attached, i haven't tried to remove it. if you did remove it, you would have a gapinghole at the top.

Twist the purple handle part, and u see the opening enlarging so u can stick ur bits in. Hopes this helps;)

You might need to tighten the handle somewhat on your own, when you take it out of the box. Just use a basic screwdriver. It has not been a problem for me since doing this.

There is a hole at the end of the handle. Imagine the cord sticking out like a tail. Place it there.

Stand on the material (strands) then pull the handle up until it releases. I have already broken one because I did not do it correctly. Good luck!

It is confusing, isn't it? Place the front of the opener on the top edge of the can with the turning handle on the top, and with the handles spread apart. Place it so that the edge of the can is between the two cog wheels that are on the underside of the opener, and when in place, close the handles together and turn the handle on the top. It is so smooth and quiet that you don't think that anything is happening, and you cannot see it, because the cut is being made on the top side of the can, not the cover. After making a full turn, remove the opener, turn it sideways and use the little pinch-pliers to remove the lid. Voila! The safest and most convenient opened can you can have!
