Helko Werk Classic Journeyman Pack Axe
Helko Werk are a German axe manufacturer who have been producing traditional German axes since 1844.
The Classic Journeyman pack axe is Helko's solution to the quest for the ultimate wilderness pack axe, and is cross between a hatchet and a conventional axe.
This pack axe is designed to be lightweight, compact, and easy to carry while out in the wilderness.
The weight and length allow for either one or two handed use, and it is equally capable of cutting and splitting work.
The Journeyman is the perfect all-purpose companion for the bushcrafter.
You can use the poll, opposite to the blade, for light hammering and is perfect for striking in tent stakes or stakes.
Comes with Helko's standard top grade American cow hide 6oz leather adjustable sheath.
