Hultafors Felling Axe

Hultafors of Sweden. Making Axe's since 1697~Yes..1697!!    My 'HULT' is now my favourite axe, if you haven't used one before, you are in for a treat, they are excellent axes, with superb balance and great steel..300 years of know-how makes the difference.

The World's oldest Axe maker, Hultafors of Sweden.This is the  Forest Axe~ this one is a Hand forged, hand finished, 31.5in total length,and 3.5 LB head. High carbon steel, Heart wood Hickory handle. Fine, high quality Axe well made, beautifully balanced and ready for work in the Northern Forest. Great for felling and firewood, splitting as well as general construction tasks. This is the larger felling axe with greater leverage and heavier head.

No head Cover

High Carbon steel 58/59HRC.......31 1/2 in OAL.........3 1/2 LB head

The hand axe, is actually THE tool of the backwoodsman. Much more than the periodic woodsplitter of the campsite, the hand axe was often the only tool carried by hunters/trappers and voyageurs. An Axe, a good axe, can complete almost any cutting task… and then some. An Axe, a good axe, a balanced, SHARP,crafted Axe, is a delight to use and carry. The hand forged Axe’s are much lighter than the drop forged type and each Axe comes with a full grain leather head cover.

To my way of thinking, everything, every 0Z you carry has to pay its way, and the weight that a good belt Axe adds is worth the effort. You will use a lot more energy in splitting firewood than you would carrying the Axe, and it can be used as a backup knife if required.
