Key Features

• Master Hand-Forged Quality: Crafted by Krumpholz, a traditional European blacksmithing company since 1799, this head is forged from premium steel for maximum toughness, balance, and guaranteed lifelong durability.

• Heavy 1600-Gram Head Weight: The substantial weight is designed to maximize chopping momentum and penetration, allowing for fewer swings when felling trees or efficiently cutting through thick branches and trunks.

• Optimal 80cm Leverage: The robust 80 cm Hickory Handle provides the ideal length and necessary leverage for controlled, powerful, two-handed swings, ensuring accurate strikes while minimizing back strain.

• Superior Shock Absorption (Hickory): Fitted with a durable Hickory handle (prized for its shock-absorbing qualities), the handle significantly dampens impact vibration, reducing fatigue and strain during prolonged chopping sessions.

• Built for Longevity: The combination of hardened steel and a high-quality hardwood handle ensures the tool is very robust and remains a reliable, safe asset for years of heavy forestry work.

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
