I don't know Blender, but in Max you have to export both the item and the bone used with the item, as one. Also, sometimes whatever you place doesn't necessarily work with the assigned bone, but where another might do better - in your case - perhaps the one of the head bones. As long as there isn't clipping and as long as the item follows what it's supposed to. I don't have the Axe file in front, but I would think there is a Head_0, Head_1, or a Jaw bone. Ideally it should be with something that follows his speech morph animations.

Ive had some experience with item position not lining up with the downloaded mesh. If you can try to rip the Bindpose out of the game files for axe and apply it as an animation to the bones.

For 3ds max I Save it as an XML then load it onto the bones.

Its possibly for this position to be slighty/very different from the downloaded model.

Might help you but also might not =/

i don't know about blender but in maya you have to attach the model to the representative bone and after you must freze and reset transformation,thing that it will make the origin point of the model where the bone is

You have to go to the panel on the right,click on the little box,and there is a collumn that says:Position
Just set everything to 0
Or you can just choose object mode and manually adjust the mesh!

everything is set to 0....

how do you guys set items that are near the body like an chest piece that the body doesnt go through it when the character runs or do other actions...hope you can understand my bad english xD

Did you bind it to the proper bone?
