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.

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.

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.

I had doubts about whether this sheath would fit the axe that had belonged to my dad; bought somewhere back in the 50's. The 3lb Plumb axe head was a perfect fit. The quality and craftsmanship are beyond what I had expected. I may retire this old heirloom axe and get a new one from Helko Werk!!

I ordered the medium sheath for my well-used hardware store axe - its plastic blade protector was wearing out. It has a 3.5 lb head that measures exactly 4.75 inches from heel to toe. Helko Werk’s sizing instructions were spot on - medium fits perfectly. High quality leather and solid construction. Pricey but with this quality, I only suffered once. Recommended.

I have a ton of these. They are about my favorite for storing/carrying axes. I keep them soaked in leather conditioner and when taken care of they seem to last for ever. They are very nice quality made in Germany.

This leather sheath is exactly what I was looking for, well except for the fact that in a perfect world I'd have been able to find a sheath that also had an incorporated leather boot for the pick end of my "True Temper Kelly Standard Kelly Works" 6Lbs axe head. It's a classic fireman's axe. This one is particularly old and scarred/pitted up, which I love. I'm not even sure they make this size axe anymore so I'd say my chances of finding a sheath that covers the front blade and the back pick of the axe are pretty slim. Lord knows I spent a lot of time hunting for one on the internet.The sheath arrived with the 1/8" thick leather sections built into a satisfyingly stiff construction, with tightly crimped (stainless steel?) fasteners. There's a 3rd strip of the 1/8" leather sandwiched inside the front and back panels of the sheath, this is for the blade endge to rest on, preventing the blade from making any contact with the fasteners. I even like that the sheath has a heat stamped (or otherwise pressed in) logo on the pretty side. The logo is attractive, in my opinion.On my axe the cutting/chopping blade is 5.25" long and it is hard to find a nice sheath/scabbard to fit over it, even more so with a belt long enough to wrap around the handle and reach back around to buckle tight.My axe is in the photos with the sheath installed. The axe is not finished yet (I'm working on it as a Christmas gift for my youngest brother) so the handle hasn't been permanently installed yet but I mocked it up to test the reach of the sheath's belt and it will fit. It will only be able to buckle down into the last 1 or 2 holes, or maybe eventually into the last 3 holes (because leather stretches), but that's perfect for me.I do plan to coat the sheath in the old blacksmith paste recipe of beeswax/turpentine/boiled-linseed oil but other than that (a purely optional step) this sheath is good to go right out of the box. Incredible price, as far as I'm concerned.I highly recommend it.

This is a great ax mask and ordering it was simple an easy to make sure I had the right size for my ax. So why isn't it a 5*?Bad first. There are a couple reasons, and these are purely my opinion. First, the rivets that hold the leather together could have been of higher quality. I feel like these will be the weak point of this mask and may eventually pull out of the backside of the leather. Second, there's very little curve to the pattern of the rivets and so the mask is "wobbly" when it's on. It's not going to fall off or anything, but I just don't like it this way.On the Good Side. The leather seems to be of high quality and it is well constructed. While I don't like the rivets, they are well set in the leather and done very well. I'm looking forward to the leather breaking in more as it's very stiff right now but that's to be expected. The strap to attach the mask to the ax is very long, which I like because while this is only intended for the ax it's currently on, I have several other ax heads I'm restoring that once hung will need the extra length and I can just order more of this same mask.All in all, if buying a generic ax mask, this is a solid option and most likely I will buy this same mask again for the other axes as I finish them.
