Helko Werk Germany Professional Felling Axe - 4.5 lb Head, 35 in Handle

Product Description About Helko Werk

Helko Werk is dedicated to producing high-quality axes through a meticulous manufacturing process that ensures durability and performance. Our axes are individually forged by hand using a drop hammer on open dies. The blacksmith works on a drop forge, using tongs to hold the hot steel as a hammer falls repeatedly onto it. The drop hammer runs continuously at remarkable speed, requiring a highly skilled and time-tested smith. The hand-eye coordination and judgment required for this process can only come from years of experience, as every split-second decision ultimately affects the shape and integrity of the final product.

Rockwell Hardness is a crucial factor in determining the quality of an axe. The steel must be tempered just right, striking a balance between hardness and flexibility. Helko's Master Smiths have spent years perfecting the hardness and temper of our axes, ensuring superior edge holding ability, ease of sharpening, and resistance to chipping.

Handles are another essential aspect of an axe's integrity. Helko handles are crafted from sustainably sourced Grade A American hickory, promoting environmentally sound forest management practices.

Our Leather Sheaths are made from vegetable-tanned, full-grain cowhide leather. Each sheath includes a heavy-duty welt for maximum blade protection, nickel-plated buckle fasteners, and an adjustable strap for a secure fit.

Helko offers a range of axe lines, including the Polished Classic Line, hand-forged Traditional Line, and versatile Vario 2000 Line. Our axes are proudly made in the USA, ensuring top quality and longevity.

In addition to axes, Helko provides a range of accessories and maintenance kits, including Axe Guards, Sharpening Kits, Leather Axe Hangers, and Fire Starters. Customers can also explore our selection of premium leather goods, such as axe collars and sheaths.
