What distinguishes the Helko Traditional Line?

The Traditional Line is Helko's premium series of classic axes with an unmistakable character. Each axe head is drop-forged, ground, and finished by hand. This individual process creates a unique look – no two axes are alike. It combines the robust, honest feel of traditional tools with the precision of modern German quality manufacturing.

What materials are the axes in the Traditional Line made of?

The heads are made of C50 carbon steel – a proven tool steel with an optimal balance between hardness and toughness. The handles are made of American hickory, prized for its high impact resistance and natural elasticity. Each handle is smoothly ground, treated with boiled linseed oil, and securely fixed with a wedge and locking pin. A vegetable-tanned leather sheath is also included to protect the cutting edge.

Which axes are particularly popular in the Traditional Line?

The most popular models are the classic forestry axes, the 600g hatchets for all-round use, and the powerful splitting mauls. Whether splitting firewood, limbing, or preparing wood – the Traditional Line offers the right axe for every purpose. The weight distribution and head shapes are designed to provide maximum control and efficiency.

How are the heads of traditional axes protected from rust?

Each axe retains its traditional forged appearance but is additionally treated with a specialized oil coating. This oil coating acts as a natural rust inhibitor without altering the matte, dark surface. This preserves the original character of the tool – combined with modern durability.

What guarantee does Helko offer on the Traditional Line?

Helko Werk offers a lifetime guarantee on all tool heads in its Traditional Line. This promise reflects our confidence in the materials and workmanship. Should an axe head become damaged during normal use, it will be replaced free of charge. Replacement handles and accessories are always available, ensuring that each tool can last for generations.
