You heard that right! Axe and Awl is now partnered as a distributor with Phenix Fire Helmets. What does this mean for you? Well, if you’re reading this you enjoy what we are doing, and know we stand by everything we offer and craft. Adding these helmets to our line up is no exception and we are thrilled to provide you with another high quality offering!
Yes, we will primarily stock Phenix Leather Fire Helmets
As you are aware Phenix has a wide range of firefighter helmet offerings and firefighter accessories ranging from the Phenix First Due, to the TC-1, and the highly sought after leather helmet TL-2. While you will have access to the entire catalog of offerings, our primary in stock focus will be the TL-2 Leather Fire Helmet. We will stock this in various colors and configurations, like the TL-2 Flat Black, or the TL-2 Scarlett Red. These can be shopped online, or you can drop by the retail store, try one on, and leave with it the same day…..Mind Blown!!
You mean i can buy Phenix Fire Helmets in Person?
Yes, you read that right. Gone are the days of only being able to blindly shop, or attend a trade show to get your hands on one of these helmets. Even worst your bugging your sleepy engineer to try his on, and who knows the last time he actually washed his balding head(hair must stay!) We get it, it’s a big purchase and one that will be a prized possession to be passed onto the next generation. Now, you can drop in the store, have a beer, learn all about the helmets, and if the one you want is in stock, you can leave with it! We will also be working with local agencies to outfit their ongoing PPE needs. This service can be done in store, or we can come to your agency and share our offerings.

Why you should buy a Phenix Fire Helmet
Simply put, they make exceptional products, and offer the lightest leather helmet on the market! Secondly, and one most are not aware of, is they are major ambassadors of solid business practices, investing in their people, supporting various missions outside of internal projects, and driving the mission of continuous improvement in everything they do. We aren’t just proud to offer their helmets, we are eager to work alongside, and learn from such a beacon in the American fire service, and manufacturing community.
In Stock helmets versus custom order helmets
The option to fully customize a helmet exists! You can either order online via our Phenix Custom Leather Firefighter Helmet Builder or in store and walk through each detail, and build exactly what you would like. These custom orders will be subject to Phenix standard lead times that vary from 10-20 weeks depending on workload and time of year. The other option is in stock. We will continuously stock various configurations in store and online based on top sellers. This will give you the option to decide, order and receive a leather helmet in no time.
Incoming Leather Helmets
Our first batch of helmets are due to us the end of July, and we plan to bring some with us to SAFRE in Raleigh. From that point forward our game plan is to have continuous inventory moving forward.
