The Helko Werk Dual Sided Axe Files have been designed specifically to bring an axe blade to a general purpose mid-level sharpness. At this stage the axe may either be used as is for general work, or further honed with more precise tools, such as our Axe Sharpening Stone, to achieve a fine or razor edge.
The top side of the file is a single-cut fine tooth pattern. The bottom side is a double-cut fine tooth pattern. The double-cut teeth provide rapid material removal for reprofiling, or removing dings and nicks form an axe edge. The single-cut teeth are for finer touch ups, finishing, and deburring. To prevent accidental damage to adjacent surfaces, the file has no teeth on its edges. The flat handle provides a secure grip and a hanging hole at the end allows for convenient storage.
The Compact File fits neatly into our Axe Maintenance Kits.

The majority of handle damage starts at the neck, either from miss swings or normal wear and tear. Handle collars protect the neck, significantly increasing handle longevity and durability. They are comfortable to use, easy to tie, and give your axe an authentic, premium appearance. The collar is fastened with an included leather lace which may be readjusted anytime, to ensure a tight fit.

This waxed canvas, padded carry bag will keep your axe clean and dry during transportation or storage. May be easily strapped to a saddle or vehicle, stowed in a canoe, or worn over the shoulder. The bag is built from 16 oz., heavy duty, 100% waxed cotton canvas and proudly made in the USA. A heavy beeswax finish has been applied and allowed time to soak through the canvas, making the bag highly durable and water repellent. Stitched between the canvas and interior lining is an inner padding that protects the axe and offers improved comfort when worn over the shoulder. The leather handles, trim, and shoulder strap are all made from moisture-protected full grain cowhide. These bags may be cleaned with a damp rag, or a brush with soapy water if a deeper cleaning is needed. Canvas wax or beeswax can be used to recoat the canvas if desired.
