- Kristina Spivey3/15/2023Such a great company! Loved the belt making class. From the incense smells to the music, the ambiance was welcoming. Very educational history of leatherworks and how it affects Waynesville. Neat to learn how the company came to be. Staff are wonderful. Very knowledgeable on leathermaking. Very patient too. Would highly recommend their classes or their leather goods. We have several items and they hold up so well.read moreread less
- Carrie Griffin3/15/2023My husband and I joined a group to make our own belts during one of the Axe and Awl Leatherworks classes. It was such a fun, unique activity to do in Waynesville. I learned so much about the leather industry. It was a perfect mix of knowledge and laughs. I am not very crafty so I was even more proud of myself for leaving the class with a beautiful leather belt that I made myself! We stayed after the class and had a glass of wine and enjoyed talking to the staff and shopping. I'd highly recommend this if you're looking for something different to do in town.read moreread lessJennifer Sadtler2/22/2023Ordered this as a gift for our son who is currently an EMT and working his was through Paramedic school. He loves it and has received many compliments from others! The craftsmanship is top notch and the quality of leather is fantastic! I called once for an update and the person I spoke with was very friendly and helpful! Would recommend Axe and Awl for radio straps!read moreread less
- Heidi Davis11/22/2022The quality of their leather is top-notch. It is clear the A & A fam puts much love and excellence into their craft and their marketplace. We appreciate their attention to detail and tedious work ethic. We are big fans and would recommend them for all your leather needs!read moreread lessVicki Bergerson11/22/2022Just a great place overall with the products and customer service . Could not ask for any better. I bought a pair of gloves and placed a order for a belt while there this time. I highly recommend this as a place to stop if in Waynesville . If you don’t need any leather items you need to check out the other products they have.read moreread less
- Bailey Capron10/22/2022Have had a radio strap from them for a few years now it’s very durable and still in great shape!

- Nathan Neal8/22/2022After a few days of using my new radio strap from Axe and Awl Leatherworks, I am absolutely blown away by the quality. Everything regarding the stitching is super clean, tidy, and bomb-proof. The leather quality is top notch, hands down the best leather item I currently own. I researched for a while where to get a good radio strap that would last a lifetime but I also wanted to support a small business and I was able to accomplish both. If you're in the market for a radio strap that you only have to buy and wait for one time in your life - look no further, you will not be disappointed. PS: Get the modular pen loop attachment, that thing is fantastic. Fits pens, sharpies, and even my pen light after a little breaking in the leather. And also check out their YouTube channel, it was really cool to see how they make their radio straps and other leather goods.read moreread less
- Courtney Simmons6/22/2022There are not enough good things I can say about Axe and Awl! We have been in there multiple times when we are on vacation and the store is absolutely beautiful, the owners and staff are extremely friendly and you won’t find leather items made any better than this!! I attached pictures of two purses that I have from them. The more “orange” toned one is the first one I got when we were there. The second brown tone is one that my husband ordered for me and it just arrived. Super fast shipping and packed with care. We have bought multiple other items from them as well. You will not be disappointed!! We love to support this small business!read moreread less

I looked at customizing a belt on other sites and none of them had color thread examples like Axe & Awl which I loved!I was able to truly visualize what I wanted and I loved that they offered that. It gave me comfort for the price of customization which I believe sets them apart from every other leather store.Though with the price of customization I thought I’d start off by buying a plain leather radio strap to start and see how the product was.I got a plain black radio strap and am absolutely in LOVE with it. True to size, great quality, and not heavy. Definitely durable as well. Amazing product and company!!! Packaging was beautiful as well.I will be putting my plain black radio strap to use and definitely be customizing/personalizing a radio strap in the near future from here.If you’re on the fence with company’s about quality, price, and durability I would 20/10 recommend Axe & Awl.read moreread lessAshley Hindman2/12/2022I took my leather briefcase in to have the leather handle repaired / replaced.

- Vince Walls6/02/2021Great quality and solid attention to detail. Yeah there are many good leather shops you can order from and get a pretty solid product, that’s no doubt. What sets Axe & Awl apart is the detail, the presentation, the give a shit. These lads went far beyond what I ever expected for a simple order and have earned my business for life. Was exactly as described, shipped fast and arrived faster. Came in a great looking package and even added some extra details to what comes inside. Some may look past the simple things like that but it speaks volumes about the company when they take extra time, money and effort to make sure a product is right and presented in a memorable manner.

- Dave Warner1/28/2021Our first contact with this company happened at the Apple Festival in Downtown Waynesville this year. My wife feel in love with the purses they had there and so desperately wanted to buy one, but unfortunately we didn’t buy it then. So fast forward a few months later, and I reached out to them to see if they could custom make a handbag for my wife, they responded immediately and said they could do whatever we needed. So we ordered the handbag and they made sure it was here in time for our 28th wedding anniversary and even stamped the inside to say “Warner’s est. 1993”.

- Trace Merritt6/30/2020I’ve had a chin strap and a radio strap in service for a little over a year. They’re both holding up extremely well. Spencer helped me at a trade show and answered all of my questions and customized my radio strap to meet all of my needs. Their work is incredible!read moreread less
- Jennifer Patterson6/30/2020My first purchase was helmet bands for my crew for Christmas. When I got them I couldn't believe the quality of the leather and craftsman. So much so that I gave them to the guys two weeks early. Company pride is something we definitely have, these bands set it off!I just received my radio strap and was blown away again at the quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail.Customer service is top notch! I made a few changes to my strap...3 different times 🙄 Courtney & Spencer were phenomenal with response time and absolutely great to work with! There is absolutely no doubt that they take tremendous pride in each piece they craft.I'm excited knowing these two pieces will last a lifetime and can only hope they'll be keepsakes for my kids one day.I won't spend my money anywhere else when it comes to leather goods for the fire service.read moreread less
- Matt Silbernagel6/24/2020I have multiple products from Axe and Awl and the quality and attention to detail is bar none. One item I ordered was a fitted radio strap and I screwed up on the measuring (no ones fault but my own) and Spenser was more than accommodating with helping me get the right size one reordered and out to me. Their customer service is quick, attentive, and hands down some of the best I have received. Don’t hesitate buy all your leather goods from Axe and Awl.read moreread lessTony Collins6/22/20203 of my guys at the fire house ordered me a custom radio strap for my birthday. It turned out absolutely amazing. They were extremely helpful in making a few changes prior to finishing our order. There are other businesses closer to us, but these guys are top notch, and the quality cant be beat so we will continue to order from them! Thanks again. I'll be ordering the SCBA mask soon!read moreread lessLee Gaboriault6/19/2020I spent literally hours comparing radio straps and reading reviews before deciding on Axe and Awl, and have not regretted it for one second.
