OCHSENKOPF stands for perfection and safety in forestry and carpentry tools. Since its foundation in 1781 by the Fahlefeld brothers, the best steel with the best grind has been forged to the highest level of quality in the Remscheid axe forge. An OCHSENKOPF axe stands for craftsmanship at the highest level, it is still the pride of the traditional Bergisch tool industry.

A brand like a myth

What once began as an axe manufactory has developed over time into a modern industrial enterprise. Quality and service are paramount. Only the best raw materials are good enough: OCHSENKOPF tools are preferably made of C60 steel. They are characterised by enormous toughness and a long service life.

Only the best material is also used in the production of handles. Noble wood such as hickory is very break-resistant and flexible. OCHSENKOPF tools are deliberately given a crowned grind instead of a knife grind. This grind gives the cutting edge a longer service life.

There is so much more that could be said about the brand that is considered the benchmark among professionals today. But basically you have to experience OCHSENKOPF. In the woodwork. In the deep, dark forest.
