Key Features

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

• Dual-Purpose Edge: The expertly sharpened hatchet edge is ideal for both finer pruning work (cutting back thick branches) and the heavy impact needed for splitting kindling and small rounds of firewood.

• Premium Ashwood Handle: Fitted with a robust Ashwood handle (Assumed 80cm length from similar models), providing the ideal length and necessary leverage for controlled, powerful swings while absorbing impact vibration.

• High-Quality Steel: The hand-forged edge ensures the axe retains its sharpness longer than mass-produced tools, requiring less maintenance and providing cleaner cuts for healthier pruning.

• 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 garden and wood processing work.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

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.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
