Helko Werk: Crafting Premium Outdoor Tools

Manufacturing Process: Helko's axes are meticulously crafted through a time-honored, hand-forged process. Using a drop hammer on open dies, a skilled blacksmith works the hot steel, with each split-second decision affecting the final shape and integrity of the product. This exacting technique, honed over years of experience, requires exceptional hand-eye coordination and judgment.

Rockwell Hardness: A key indicator of axe quality, the steel must be tempered to the perfect balance – not too soft to maintain an edge, nor too brittle. Helko's Master Smiths have dedicated hundreds of years to perfecting the hardness and temper of their axes, resulting in superior edge-holding, easy sharpening, and resistance to chipping.

Handles: The quality of the handle is equally vital to a tool's durability. Helko uses sustainably sourced, Grade A American hickory to craft their handles, promoting environmentally sound forest management practices.

Leather Sheaths: Helko's vegetable-tanned, full-grain cowhide leather sheaths feature a heavy-duty welt for maximum blade protection. Adjustable, nickel-plated buckle fasteners ensure a secure, snug fit even as the leather ages.
