## Features

- HAND-FORGED AND MANUFACTURED IN GERMANY: The Black Forest Woodworker is Helko Werk's flagship piece. This axe is the quintessential tool for the experienced woodsman, with a compact size that makes it a versatile packing tool and lightweight cutting, felling, and chopping axe. Features Helko's famous Rheinland pattern axe head, named for the country's Rhein River Valley, where cutting axes like these have been in use for centuries.
- C50 HIGH CARBON STEEL SPLITTING HEAD: 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.
- GRADE A AMERICAN HICKORY WOOD 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
- ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: Full Grain Leather Sheath and 1oz 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.
- SPECIFICATIONS: Head Weight: 2-1/4 lb, Length: 24 in, Total Weight: 3-1/2 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
