## Overview

The 1844 Helko Werk Germany Handforged Twisted Steel Splitting Wedge is a 4.5 lbs premium log splitter crafted with precision German engineering. Its twisted steel design enhances splitting efficiency, while the handforged construction ensures durability and power for all your firewood tasks.

## Description

Helko Werk is a German toolmaker that makes very fine axes, and their splitting wedges are no exception in terms of standard. This handforged, German twisted steel splitting wedge weighs 4.5 pounds and is made of C50 high carbon steel with a hardness of 53-56 HRC that is ideal for firewood, large logs, or even precise splitting of smaller logs. Its twisted design and notches help avoid slippage, and the central groove's pinching. What’s nice is that it comes with a leather sheath and a 1-ounce bottle of Axe Guard oil. It’s pricier than other, mass-produced wedges on the market, but you can be sure that it won’t start warping or mushrooming after a few splitting sessions, unlike wedges made with lesser-grade steel in places where the focus is on volume or quantity, not excellence. The high carbon steel edge will also ensure much better penetration and edge retention than wedges made of softer, “scrappier” steel. Helko's twisted steel wedges are drop forged, heat-treated, and oil-hardened. While lower grade splitting wedges will break down over time and need to be replaced, Helko wedges should easily last a lifetime.
