Full Grain Leather

Built to Last a Lifetime

Full grain leather is considered the highest quality type of leather. It is made from the top layer of the hide, which includes the grain and all of the natural markings and characteristics. This type of leather is very durable and will last for a long time, as it has not been sanded or buffed to remove imperfections. It is also more breathable and will develop a patina over time, giving it a unique and attractive appearance.

About Helko Werk Axes

Axe Manufacturing Process

Our axes are individually forged by hand using a drop hammer on open dies. The blacksmith works on a drop forge, using tongs to hold the hot steel as a hammer falls repeatedly onto it. The drop hammer runs continuously at remarkable speed, requiring a highly skilled and time-tested smith. The hand-eye coordination and judgment required for this process can only come from years of experience, as every split-second decision ultimately affects the shape and integrity of the final product.

About Helko Werk

Axe Rockwell Hardness

An important factor to consider when evaluating the quality of an axe. The steel must be tempered just right, without being too soft to hold an edge or hard enough to become brittle. ​Helko’s Master Smiths have cumulatively spent hundreds of years perfecting the hardness and temper of our axes, creating an ideal balance between superior edge holding ability, ease of sharpening, and resistance to chipping.

About Helko Werk

Axe Handles

The quality of the handle is also a significant measure of the tool’s integrity. Helko handles are proudly crafted from sustainably sourced Grade A American hickory. Helko promotes environmentally sound, socially beneficial, and economically prosperous management of the world’s forests.

About Helko Werk

Axe Leather Sheaths

Our Leather Sheaths are made from vegetable tanned, full grain, cowhide leather. We install a heavy duty welt in all of our sheaths, which is an added strip of leather that rests against the blade, for maximum blade protection. The buckle fasteners are nickel plated with an adjustable strap that will always ensure a snug fit, even if the leather stretches over time.
