Helko Werk is widely recognized as a producer of premium world-class handmade axes. It is one of the oldest axe manufacturers still operating in Europe. The story of Helko Werk began in the village of Cronenberg, Germany, now part of the city of Wuppertal. It was there, in 1844, that August Helsper founded the August Helsper Werkzeugfabrik (the Helsper Tool Factory) and began producing axes for the region. The Helsper Tool Factory increased its export of axes beyond the borders of Europe during the early twentieth century, and by the 1930s was regularly shipping axes to countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. It was also around this time that the Helsper family formed a partnership with the Kotthaus family, setting the stage for exponential growth and giving the company its current name: Helko (an amalgam of Helsper and Kotthaus). Today, Helko Werk is widely recognized as producers of finest world-class handmade axes ever forged. As one of the oldest axe manufacturers still operating in Europe, we continuously strive to deliver uncompromising quality and sustainability. Equip yourself on your challenging adventures with the finest Helko Work Axes ever forged. Made in Germany since 1844 Powerful and Elegant Design: Helko Werk Axes for Those Who Seek Ultimate Quality and Precision A Helko Werk Axe is your perfect companion for mastering the outdoors, offering unmatched precision and durability with every swing. 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. An important factor to consider when evaluating the quality of an axe. The steel must be tempered just right, without being too soft to hold an edge or hard enough to become brittle. Helko's Master Smiths have cumulatively spent hundreds of years perfecting the hardness and temper of our axes, creating an ideal balance between superior edge holding ability, ease of sharpening, and resistance to chipping. The quality of the handle is also a significant measure of the tool’s integrity. Helko handles are proudly crafted from sustainably sourced Grade A American hickory. Helko promotes environmentally sound, socially beneficial, and economically prosperous management of the world's forests. Our Leather Sheaths are made from vegetable tanned, full grain, cowhide leather. We install a heavy duty welt in all of our sheaths, which is an added strip of leather that rests against the blade, for maximum blade protection. The buckle fasteners are nickel plated with an adjustable strap that will always ensure a snug fit, even if the leather stretches over time. 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. Our Standard Axe Maintenance Kits cover the core basics for axe care and maintenance.
