Krumpholz Forged Hand Axe, Hickory Handle
£46.00
Ex Tax: £38.33
A hand-forged axe with a durable and high-quality 40cm 'cow-foot' shaped handle, allowing for a confident one-handed grip when chopping back or trimming branches or twigs in your garden. Hickory is used due to its combination of strength and flexibility — its strength allows it to take massive shocks without splitting or cracking. A 1300g hand-forged axe head ensures a smooth and direct cut every time, without the need for excessive force or swinging. Its weight is perfectly balanced through its premium German forging, so that you can always maintain a confident grip. Handcrafted in the Krumpholz family-run forge in Germany who have been making high quality gardening tools since 1799.
Care Advice
Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary.
Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
