Helko

Helko has been exporting some of the finest hand-forged axes in the world since 1844. Originally based out of Cronenberg, Germany, Helko quickly earned a reputation throughout Europe as a manufacturer of high-quality woodworking tools. Each piece is handcrafted by Helko’s master smiths utilizing over 170 years of expertise. Once the smith is satisfied with their work, the Helko crown is hammered into the cheek. No supplementary work, such as grinding, buffing, or painting is performed, thereby allowing each blade to proudly display its forging marks. As no two pieces are exactly alike, each axe is truly unique.
