About Helko Werk Axes Axe Manufacturing Process Our axes are individually forged by hand using a drop hammer on open dies. The blacksmith works on a drop forge using tongs to hold the hot steel as a hammer falls repeatedly onto it. The drop hammer runs continuously at remarkable speed requiring a highly skilled and timetested smith. The handeye coordination and judgment required for this process can come from years of experience as every splitsecond decision ultimately affects the shape and integrity of the final product.

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.
