Overview
Helko Werk's Traditional line is an elite series of German heritage axes. Each piece is handcrafted by one of Helko’s Master Smiths - lifelong artisans of metalcraft. The Smith uses tongs on an open face drop forge to shape the head, a skill requiring impressive control and hand-eye coordination that can only be achieved through years of practice. Once satisfied with his work, the Smith hammers the Helko Werk crown logo into the cheek. Only minimal supplementary work is performed, allowing each blade to proudly display its forging marks and ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. The handles are smooth sanded and coated with boiled linseed oil. Each axe includes a vegetable tanned leather sheath and a bottle of our Axe Guard Head Oil.
