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.

About Helko Werk
Axe Handle Collar
The majority of handle damage starts at the neck, either from miss swings or normal wear and tear. Handle collars protect the neck, significantly increasing handle longevity and durability. They are comfortable to use, easy to tie, and give your axe an authentic, premium appearance. The collar is fastened with an included leather lace which may be readjusted anytime, to ensure a tight fit.

ok guys if your like me you just spent $200 on a killer ( no pun intended) axe that looks as good as it preforms and you got to get some really stubborn large tree stumps out and make the ground level you need this to protect against missed swings and hitting just under the head smashing and chipping the hickory handle this leather cover helps absorbs that impact I have 5 stumps that is hard olive wood and im on it daily and noticed my handle was starting to take a bit of a beating in that area glad they offer this its well worth it

I purchased this for my new Hults Bruk Almike Small All-purpose Hatchet. This is quality leatherwork - the guard is thick yet supple enough to conform to handle. Lacing is sturdy - I took my time and really worked the lacing with a rubberized needlenose pliers to get it absolutely as snug as possible. Nothing broke, no issues at all. Fits perfectly and gives me peace of mind that my heirloom-quality hatchet will be protected against overstrikes. There are less expensive handle guards out there - also, people use paracord for this application. You could probably do it cheaper than Helko Werk, but it looks amazing and will stand up to punishment. Go with quality.

Helko Werk is synonymous with quality and I have never been disappointed with anything I've purchased from them. That being said, you'll pay a premium price for a premium product. And they are easy to contact if you have any questions at all.Edit: I had originally posted that I had soaked the leather handle guard, (collar), in warm water. Since then I contacted Helko Werk and asked if this was the proper way to attach the collar. They informed me that it is not, and soaking in water can actually shorten the life of the collar. They recommend the collar be attached "As Is" after which you may treat it with a leather conditioner.

I picked up a super nice splitting axe and just chewed through the handle super quick. After doing a little research I found these beauties and they do such a good job of protecting your handle from over strikes. I've ordered 4 of these now for all my axes and not only do they add a nice aesthetic to your axe, they do a good job. Solid product. I wouldn't swing my axes with out one.

I was very please with the axe handle guard when I got it. The leather is very nice and looks great. I have never put one of these on before, so it would have been nice to show some lacing instructions on how to get it started. I figured it out pretty easily though and got it on really tight and snug. Totally changes the look of the axe. I did like the product sheet that you put in the packet showing all of your different axes that you sell. They are really really nice. I might have to indulge and get one some day. The leather lace was great and I pulled pretty hard on it to get it right. It held up just fine. I would definitely buy this item again if needed. Thanks for a great product!!!
