Expedition axe
The Expedition Axe is the largest of the felling axes with a classic American head shape and a real workhorse!
With 2kg head weight, its sharp cutting edge and ergonomic 90cm hickory handle, it is made for the most demanding felling and cutting work and can take on even the thickest logs.
If necessary, the axe can also be used for splitting firewood - here, too, it will reliably provide the best service.
The forged axe head is mirror polished, which not only reduces friction when cutting, but also significantly improves rust resistance.
Comes with our top grade cowhide leather blade sheath.

Helko Werk – Classic Line
The Classic Line represents a successful combination of functionality, performance, and timeless design. This series of high-quality axes and hatchets was developed for users who value aesthetics as much as efficiency. The axe heads are drop-forged, meticulously finished by hand, and polished to a high gloss. The result: a mirror-smooth surface that noticeably reduces cutting friction and effectively prevents corrosion. The handles are made of robust American hickory. They are sanded smooth and treated with boiled linseed oil for a natural feel and optimal protection. A vegetable-tanned leather sheath is included.
