Krumpholz – Safety double wedge splitting axe with 80 cm hickory handle – leather guard – head weight 1700 grams – No. 0393
Safety double wedge splitting axe no. 0393 from Krumpholz. Forged, clear lacquered, with oiled hickory handle 80cm, PE impact head and leather edge / handle protection. For professional work in the forest and for easy splitting of firewood. A professional splitting axe for long-term use. The “must-have” for real forestry work: With this axe, a polymer impact surface absorbs the impact when driving splitting and felling wedges, which not only reduces the noise level but also negates the risk of metal splintering. The hand-sewn leather blade guard protects the high-quality hickory handle during felling work and the blade during transportation. We recommend the use of our forged splitting wedges for splitting large tree slices or knotty softwood.
Note: The PE impact head offers the highest level of safety, however, the impact head wears out due to the enormous forces and must be replaced occasionally.

Hand-forged forestry tools from the German tool manufacturer Krumpholz. Krumpholz has been forging since 1799 and is still family owned. Axes, hatchets, sappies and many other useful forestry tools are forged from Swedish steel at the highest quality level. Durable, resilient ash wood or hard durable hickory wood is used for the wooden handles and grips. Best quality for highest demands in forestry work.
Notes hickory handle:
Hickory is a North American tree of the walnut genus. The wood is perfect for heavy-duty stems. It is firm, flexible and elastic and absorbs hard shocks well. Due to its long wood fibers, it can withstand a much higher load than the already stable ash wood. Hickory handles almost never break completely, providing a safety advantage over ash handles.
Care instructions
Dry blades and wood after use. Storage in dry and unheated rooms, barns or garden sheds. When stored in heated rooms, the stem dries out and loses elasticity. The stem can then break more easily than with proper storage. If necessary, lightly treat the handle with a wood oil or linseed oil.
