## Description

Few axes are more iconic than the American double bit. Instantly reminiscent of bygone days when double bit felling axes spread across America during the 19th century, the Hinterland is an ode to the past. Traditionally, one bit was reserved for heavy work that was prone to dull the blade, while the other was kept with a finely honed edge. The beauty of double bit axes is that the user has the option to profile each blade differently and may use, for instance, one edge for splitting and the other for cutting. When the logging industry was still reliant on axes for felling trees, one side of the double bit was commonly used in chopping undercuts for large timber, while the other was held in reserve for fine cutting. The Hinterland has as straight handle and symmetrical head, offering a comfortable balance for the wielder. Hung with a 30 inch handle, the 3.5 pound head makes the Hinterland a capable and effective felling tool.Each piece is handcrafted by Helko's Master Smiths, lifelong artisans of metalcraft, using tongs on an open face drop forge. Each piece proudly displays its forging marks. No two pieces are exactly alike.

## Features

- Handmade in Germany: The American inspired Hinterland Double Bit is a capable, highly effective felling tool, suited for large timber. If inclined, the user is able to profile each blade differently and may use, for instance, one edge for splitting and the other for cutting. Traditionally, one bit was used for heavy work that was prone to dull the blade, while the other was kept with a finely honed edge.
- 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. ​One side of the double bit was commonly used to chop undercuts for large timber, while the other was held in reserve for fine cutting.
- 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: 3-1/2 lb, Length: 30 in, Total Weight: 5 lb

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the length the face or cutting edge? I can't seem to find it anywhere.**
A: The length of the bit, or cutting edge, is 4-1/4''.  Hope that helps, let us know if you have any other questions!HNA

**Q: How does this axe compare to the gb small splitting axe?  or other sweedish style splitting axes (husqvarna)?**
A: This would be a German splitting head design, compared to a Swedish design.  The German wedge shape will be wider, and using the tool your blade should not have as much risk of getting pinched or stuck as it would with a slimmer wedge, like the husqvarna.     You will also have an easier time freeing this axe if it does become stuck as well.  This is a very effective compact little splitter, and is excellent for things like campfires or smaller wood stoves.

**Q: Is the head on the Rheinland pack axe any larger/different the Rheinland hatchet, or is it simply a longer handle?**
A: Hello Bill,The primary difference between the blades is that the Rheinland Pack Axe has a 1.5 lb head, and the Hatchet has a 1.25 lb head.  So, yes, it is a larger head.  Other than that, the blades are very similar dimensio-to-scale wise, other than a few minute differences to make up for the weight difference.

**Q: why is this $17.00 dollars cheaper strait from helko web sight,is there an advantage to buying this  on amazon**
A: Hello there,Our listed prices on Amazon may show a slightly higher price than the listed priced on our direct website.  You are certainly welcome to order this item directly from our direct website.  You will receive the same item, and may save a few dollars in the process.  Kind Regards,HNA

    can just tell it will last a lifetime
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on 15 April 2021*

was watching the dick proenneke documentaries with my husband but this particular time he was even more moved and inspired by his works than he's ever been before. it was his birthday that day and i had gifted him some carving tools so he could start practicing woodworking as he's always wanted to. on a whim he asked if we could just go all out and get him all the things he will need to follow in his footsteps and we decided together that if we were going to go for it; we wanted quality. that is exactly what helko werk delivers. it is a solid piece, it is SHARP, and the dual leather sheaths it came with are such good  quality on top of being handy. i love that this came with a booklet showcasing all of their tools and what their intended uses are, even more kind of them to include a bottle of head oil to keep it in good condition. i can tell that this is an axe that will receive a lot of love and use from my husband and will remain in the family for as long as there's an end to sharpen. thank you for the hard work and care put in to each piece, we will treasure it.

    A heavy duty double bit axe... 2 years later still like new
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on 4 July 2019*

*Edit* It has been almost 2 years, I have used this axe for two full summer seasons as my go to RV camping axe. It holds a edge like a dream and it has enough weight to split fire wood or chop down a tree. I have had to do nothing but oil it and lightly touch up the edge. It still looks brand new.You do need to oil it and the handle but that is normal for any tool you use. I now give this axe a full five stars!. It is worth the money.  *You can see my original post below.*I’m giving this axe 4 stars, not because of there being anything wrong but because I haven’t owned it long enough say how durable it is. That said it seems very well made and it does hold a edge very well. I have cut down several trees around my property with it. The axe split fire wood relatively easily.If you never owned a double bit axe the handle can be a little odd, but you will get used to it quickly. The weight is nice for cutting through trees or splitting wood.I would most defiantly recommend the axe.
