Accessories
We carry an assortment of sheaths and leather products. All sheaths are made in the USA from full grain, vegetable tanned cowhide leather. The Premium and Deluxe sheaths have been treated and infused with oils and waxes for moisture protection. This also helps to soften the leather. These sheaths use a welt - a strip of leather that the blade edge rests against while sheathed - to provide additional protection to the blade and lengthen the lifespan of the sheath.
The Helko Hat is a universal fit. It is a high quality waxed cotton canvas and water repelling cap with an adjustable brass buckle in the back.
These are stylish and very comfortable.

These handmade, steel twisted splitting wedges have a wide striking face that is ideal for hammering. Each is forged from German C50 high grade carbon steel, with a perfect hardness level - hard enough to prevent mushrooming but forgiving enough to avoid the possibility of chipping or cracking. Sharp debris from chipping is a serious concern when using wedges, which is why it is important to only use wedges designed to avoid these hazards. Helko's twisted steel wedges are drop forged, heat treated, and oil hardened. While lower quality splitting wedges will break down over time and need to be replaced, Helko wedges should easily last a lifetime.

- Length: 8 ¼ in.
- Weight: 4 ½ lbs.
Features
- Made in Germany
- Drop forged, heat treated, and oil-hardened
- Twisted, notched design helps prevent slippage
