What distinguishes the Helko Classic Line?

The Classic Line was developed for users who, in addition to functionality, also value an elegant design and high-quality workmanship.
It combines technical precision with an appealing look. The high-gloss finish not only gives the axe heads an elegant appearance, but also a functional advantage: the polished surface reduces friction when splitting wood and facilitates penetration.

How are the axe heads of the Classic Line manufactured?

Each Classic Line head is drop-forged, precisely ground, and then meticulously polished by hand.
The high-gloss finish protects the steel from corrosion in the long term and ensures a particularly smooth cut.
High-quality C50 carbon steel is used, which offers an excellent combination of hardness and elasticity – ideal for durable, long-lasting tools.

What materials are the handles of the Classic Line made of?

The handles are made of robust American hickory wood , a proven material for high-quality axes.
The wood is carefully selected, sanded smooth and treated with boiled linseed oil .
This finish protects the handle from moisture, preserves the natural grain, and ensures a secure, comfortable grip.
Included in the delivery is a vegetable-tanned leather sheath that reliably protects the axe head and cutting edge.

For which applications is the Classic Line suitable?

The Classic Line is aimed at discerning users who are looking for tools for versatile use – from splitting firewood to forestry work.
Thanks to the balanced weight distribution and the precisely ground cutting edge, the axes work particularly efficiently.
They are equally popular with wood-burning stove owners, craftsmen and collectors who appreciate classic design and the highest quality.

Helko Werk offers a lifetime warranty on all Classic Line tool heads.
Should an axe head be damaged during proper use, Helko will replace it free of charge.
