About this item
- The axe head is hand forged and made from Swedish axe steel in a foundry that has been in operation since 1697.
- As part of the hand grinding production process, the steel is struck multiple times thereby increasing its density and resulting in more durability of the axe.
- The head is constructed in such a way that there is a tempered zone designed to hold a very sharp edge even after many sharpenings..
- The straight hickory handle is treated with linseed oil.
- Each axe comes with a traditional leather protective sheath that is embellished with some unique Swedish decorative elements.The axe is shipped in its own storage box and comes with a detailed users manual.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So, I finally ordered it. In full transparency, I had to return the first one (100% Hassle-Free with Amazon Prime). There were clear quality control issues, including a warp in the axe head, which, for all you "Forged in Fire" fans out there, clearly indicated issues with the forging.
Anyway, when the replacement arrived, it was like a whole different axe. Quality was supreme and the head was pin straight!!! I thought my eyes were playing tricks because the handle seemed thicker, smoother and the head was also thicker (there's a bad joke in there, but I'll leave that alone for now... :-)) so I weighed both. The replacement was 4 ounces heavier, definitely quality checked and beautiful! Tested and it split log-length firewood with one or two strikes, maximum, also razor sharp and carved amazingly.
This is a Beautiful Axe to add to any backcountry kit!
I love hiking and will usually bring this and a folding saw because not all the trails around where I live and maintained often and it's nice to be able to buck up smaller trees that fall across the trail. It's lightweight enough that I hardly notice it while hiking
It came shaving sharp and maintained it's edge very well. The build quality is exactly what you'd expect from a name like Hults Bruk, I can't recommend this axe enough
The cutting edge is a little longer than I anticipated, it's also more slender than I thought it would be...and sharp. Literally hair popping sharp and polished to a mirror finish. My wetterlings axe didn't arrive with such nice fit and finish. This is a very nice, well put together axe. Seems a shame to swing such a work of art. Almost.
