13 New Swedish Axes for America by Hults Bruk

Hults Bruk (Hultafors Bruks) axes have been forged by hand and crafted in the traditional way since 1697. At the Hults Bruk factory in Ostergotland Sweden, their smiths perform the work that not many others are able to do. Only a few producers in the world employ smiths who can produce this kind of craftsmanship.

Hults Bruk Axe heads are forged from Swedish axe steel of a consistently high quality. The steel is stuck many times until the axe attains its final form. It's a costly method, but this increases the density of the steel and thereby the durability and life of the axe, particularly if you compare it to axes that are forged with only a few strikes. The Hults Bruk hardening method leaves a clear hard zone within which the axe can be sharpened whilst not detracting from the strength of the edge.

These Hults Bruk Swedish Axes are heirloom quality and compare on an even par with those made by Gransfors Bruks and Wetterlings Swedish Axe Works. Used correctly, Hultafors Bruks axes can last for generations. Hultafors Bruks produces axes that are designed for a number of different applications, including felling and splitting. Hults Bruk also produces axes that can be used outside the workplace for hunting, camping and sports. Here are the new 2015 Hults Bruk models which were just released...
