## Overview

The 1844 Helko Werk Germany Bavarian Woodworker Axe is a premium, hand-forged tool combining traditional German craftsmanship with modern materials. Featuring a high-grade C50 carbon steel head hardened to 53-56 HRC, a FSC-certified American hickory handle crafted in Switzerland, and a steel overstrike protector, this 31-inch axe delivers exceptional cutting performance and durability. Designed for heavy cutting and felling tasks, it offers professional millennial managers a blend of heritage, precision, and rugged reliability.

## Description

The Bavarian Woodworker is a cutting axe with a traditional German wide-bit blade to be used for heavy cutting and felling tasks. This sharp, slim, wide-bit woodworker head will outperform most American patterned felling axes at cutting tasks, and is quite capable for splitting work as well. The steel overstrike protector reduces shaft wear and breakage, and protects the handle against miss swings. Each piece is hand crafted by Helko's Master Smiths, lifelong artisans of metalcraft. The Smith uses tongs on an open face drop forge to shape the head, a skill requiring impressive control and hand eye coordination that can only be achieved through years of practice. Once satisfied with his work, the Smith hammers the Helko Werk crown logo into the cheek. Only minimal supplementary work is performed, allowing each blade to proudly display its forging marks. No two pieces are exactly alike.

Review: What can I say, the quality of this tool is amazing. I unboxed this axe and immediately checked out the grain orientation in the handle- so far, it seems to be the only negative I have is that the grain is about 25-30 degrees angled away from the head. its a bit more than i am used to. with that said, I seriously doubt it is going to be a problem. The wood looks of high quality. The dimensions of the handle are wide, giving me optimal purchase with a variety of grip positions (I have larger hands) the cutting edge was a solid 4.5/5 on sharpness, a little love with a stone and it should be good to go. I have heard that these axes sometimes need work on the cutting edge, but i got fortunate I suppose. The black forest model is the perfect length for a taller guy like myself who finds that 17-18 inch handles are awkward,( causing me to have to get into janky footing positions as to not whack myself in the leg) but still compact enough to be articulate in my cutting motion and retaining a small footprint on my mountain pack. This axe also has a very wide cutting edge in comparison to the rear of the head, a slight even beard above and below, with a notible and almost "medieval" reduction to the rear. I know some folks like myself talk about axe's and hatchets having a soul or spirit, whether or not its true is irrelevant. I cannot wait to bring my Helko Werk axe with me to the sticks and build a bond with this wonderful example of fine craftsmanship. This is definitely worth what they are charging. Germany, giving Sweden a run for their money. UPDATE 3/19/19 Had this axe out for a three day winter bushcrafting trip. The edge was lost pretty quickly the first day- so I took the bastard file to it to reallign the bevel edge and rehoned with a stone. The edge kept sharp after that for the rest of the trip. The handle worked itself slightly loose on the last morning, it had dropped down from 40 degrees F that previous afternoon to almost negetive 5-10 F. So, I set the head in boiled linseed oil and added a single beavertail wedge and it tightened right back up- (I might note that once I got home and got the axe back into room temp, the head could no longer be wiggled) This axe exceeded expectation, wonderful for one handed use debarking and gerdalling larger frozen logs- felling smaller 3-4" pine and aspen was easy but anything girthier than that was quite a chore. Splitting with this axe is not really an option unless you have very small pieces. The axe would just sink into stumps without causing much of a split, but its cutting ability is top notch. I will update again as time goes on. 3/29/24 update. Still using it! Still my go-to, although I have more to my collection now for specific trips out. This one is still my first choice, and will likely outlive me.
Review: I ordered this for a member of my family I don't know anything about this item but family member I bought for loves everything about it they were very please they said it seems to be very sharp like the weigh feel of handle the way it swung but has chopped wood yet so this is all information I have on it for now I'll update when I know more about it just saying 😊🇨🇦

I’ve been using this axe heavily for a while now for log building, bushcraft, and wood processing. I am very pleased with this axe, chops and splits wood very well. The handle was perfectly hung and has never came loose on me, it also has a beautiful grain pattern with proper orientation, it feels very comfortable with very little vibration felt. The head itself is very durable, it came sharp out of the box, I’ve never had to resharpen it even after all the use I’ve put it through. Overall this is a high quality, well built axe designed to be used hard, it’s definitely worth the price if you’re seriously into bushcraft or log building.
