Hand-forged forestry tools from the German tool manufacturer Krumpholz. Krumpholz has been forging since 1799 and is still family owned. The forestry equipment is forged from Swedish steel at the highest quality level. Durable, resilient ash wood or hard hickory wood is used for the wooden handles and grips. Best quality for highest demands in forestry work.
Notes Ash handle:
Ash wood handles are strong and elastic. Impacts are cushioned by the wood, which is easy on the joints. A complete breakage of the ash stem is rather rare, but occurs especially when the wood dries out. There is then a risk of injury here from the uncontrolled axe head. Ash handles are made from domestic ash and are less expensive than handles made from hickory.
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.
