## Features

- Handmade in Germany: Our Classic Nordic Splitting Axe is a heavy duty, straight-handled splitting axe, designed solely for difficult splitting work. The 5 ½ pound head is capable of splitting large rounds, difficult logs, and tough firewood. For those facing a cold winter and in need of burning through a cord of wood, this axe will perform dutifully. It may not be the largest tool in the shed, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in efficiency.
- C50 High Carbon Steel: 53-56 HRC - Helko Werk axe heads are open-face drop forged individually by hand from German C50 high grade carbon steel. Drop forging is a process in which the blacksmith uses tongs to hold and shape hot steel as a drop hammer falls repeatedly onto it. This axe is handmade and hand-forged with a highly polished Classic finish to prevent rust and reduce cutting friction.
- Grade A American Hickory Handle: Linseed Oil Finish, 150 Grit Sanded Sustainably sourced grade A American hickory handle. All Helko Werk camping axes and hatchets have handles individually hand finished and selected for grain orientation and density with a boiled linseed oil finish and sanded to 150 grit for a comfortable and smooth finish on your axe handle
- Includes Full Grain Leather Sheath and 1 oz Bottle of Axe Guard Protective Oil: All Helko Werk axes and hatchets include a vegetable-tanned premium leather axe sheath to protect your axe blade and head. The Axe Guard oil is a metal protecting oil to help maintain the steel of your axe head, and prevent rust over time.
- Dimensions Head Weight: 5-1/2 lb, Length: 31 in, Total Weight: 7-1/4 lb

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent craftsmanship.
*by  ***. on October 24, 2024*

Excellent craftsmanship , both the head and the handle and the hanging.So precise , so symmetrical, grinding the head and the blade is beautiful. Sharp out of the box. The handle looks made of a high quality piece of wood.The leather sheath is of high quality too.I never saw so perfect grain orientation of the handle wood.On every step of the production you can see the GERMAN dedication to precision and quality.I didn't get chance to put it to work yet.I will update the review once I do it (especially if there is any issue) and of course I will take some pictures and videos and upload. These nice people and their axes deserve it :) . Thank you!p.s. If I have to have only one axe I would choose the Expedition.Im a big guy and that axe is simply perfect for me for almost any task.The Tasmanian one is also excellent but little bit specifically designed for racing , and I'm not an expert for that , but I'm sure it's going to serve me very good for anything. It's just a bit lighter and shorter than the Expedition and will be perfect when I get tired :) or for limbing a tree , smaller splittings or felling, etc

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4lb good for splitting logs with ease, well made
*by A***N on February 11, 2025*

Full day of use splitting logs, very nice finish on the head and the handle. Sheath could be better IMO but it works so I won't dock stars. Came sharp, not razor but sharp enough to not complain. The little bottle of oil and care instructions were a nice addition to those that aren't used to axes. So far very sturdy and well made. I'll update if there's a failure based on manufacturing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and Effective
*by D***X on July 5, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?:this Ax is a for real tool. It's so much sharper I just got it yesterday and I cut through two 1 foot diameter trees, 5 to 10 times easier than with a typical store Ax. It's probably close to already worth the 200 dollars in one day. It's very sharp not like a store Ax if you drop this on your foot or think you can just sit it down any old way its going to cut. There is no perfect tool for everyone I'm 5'7" and if you have open space it's no problem. But when you stand on the logs to finish them it's difficult because the handle is so long. But even this being said its night and day compared to regular axes which I have used for 10 plus years
