Definitely
There are a lot of german words that are limited to
certain regions or certain contexts. "Heft" or "Hilze" is a rather antiquated term i often see in the context of european bladed weapons. As Billman wanted terms for "edged tools" "Griff" would indeed be more appropiate
(and contemporary).
And here a link to prove that i didn't make the term "Erl" up by myself:
