Krumpholz tools are hand-forged in Germany using traditional European forging methods. This time-honored process involves heating high-grade steel to precise temperatures and shaping it by hand, creating tools with superior strength and balance.

The hand-forging process ensures that each tool has optimal weight distribution, making them easier to use and more effective than mass-produced alternatives. The high-grade steel used in Krumpholz tools provides exceptional durability, resisting wear and maintaining sharp edges longer than standard tools.

This traditional craftsmanship results in tools that not only perform better but also last for generations when properly maintained. The attention to detail in every hand-forged tool is evident in their balance, feel, and long-term reliability.

Krumpholz offers a comprehensive range of hand-forged tools for every gardening and forestry need. Digging Tools include spades, shovels, and forks designed for efficient soil cultivation with optimal balance and strength.

Axes and Hatchets are precision-forged for forestry work, tree felling, and wood splitting, featuring razor-sharp edges and perfectly balanced heads. Mattocks combine the functionality of a pick and an adze, ideal for breaking ground, digging, and clearing.
