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...

Wetterlings Forest Clearing Axe Review

The Wetterlings Forest Clearing Axe (model 26H) is made in Sweden at the Wetterlings Forge which is one of the top axe forges in the world. The Forest Clearing ax is a nicely made mid-size clearing axe... the Forest Clearing Axe is Wetterlings version of the Gransfors Bruks Scandanavian Forest Axe.

The Forest Clearing Axe is a professional quality axe for those who want to limb a felled tree in traditional Broad Axe, manner. The head is hand forged to a thin, curved bit and sharpened to make it suitable for cutting branches of fresh, resinous wood, spruce or pine.  The handy size is smaller than a felling ax but larger than your typical bushcraft ax and it is able to adeptly perform both functions.

The 26.5" handle is made of straight grain Hickory with the Wetterlings stamp on it and a lanyard hole on the butt end. Hickory is unsurpassed for its shock absorbing abilities and its strength as a handle material. The handle fits perfectly through the eye of the axe head.

The axe head is hand forged which makes for a stronger steel with more flex than a machine forged head. It has a nice keen sharp edge and the combination of hand forging and heat treatment provides more "sting" or a "longer edge life" than a machine forged head offers. The axe head measures 6.5" in length with a 3.5" cutting edge and weighs 1.7 lbs.

To sum it up this high quality Swedish Axe is built to perform and it is almost identical in size and function to the Gransfors Scandinavian Forest Axe for quite a bit less.  For more information, watch our Youtube video review of the Wetterlings Forest Axe or view it on our website.
