Helko Werk – Traditional Line
The Traditional Line is our premium series of classic axes with authentic character. The axe heads are drop-forged and then individually hand-finished, ground, and refined by our experienced blacksmiths. This elaborate manufacturing process gives each axe its own unique look – no two are alike. The axes in this line convey the robust, honest feel of a traditional hand tool – combined with the precision and reliability of modern German quality manufacturing. The handles are smoothly ground and treated with boiled linseed oil. A vegetable-tanned leather sheath is included.
