Our verdict

A light forest axe with a hand-forged Swedish head for trail clearing, limbing and camp work. It is too light for splitting large rounds.

Overview

Forest trails, backcountry camps and overnight trips are where the Hults Bruk forester axe earns its weight. A hand-forged Swedish steel head on a long hickory handle gives reach and power, and a leather sheath protects the edge in a pack.

Real chopping leverage in a pack-friendly weight is the reason to buy. The tempered edge holds sharpness through many sharpenings. It is not a splitting maul, and handle shape is described as both straight and curved.

Who it's for

Backpackers, hunters and trail volunteers carrying a tool all day will like the balance. Firewood splitting needs a heavier maul.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Hand-forged Swedish steel
  • Light total weight
  • Long handle for leverage
  • Edge holds after sharpening
Cons
  • Too light for big splitting
  • Handle shape described two ways
  • Warranty not listed

Performance notes

Chopping power comes from handle length and head weight, so a full swing with both hands does most work. The tempered edge zone allows repeated sharpening without losing hardness. Oiling the hickory handle protects it from drying.
