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
- Hand-forged Swedish steel
- Light total weight
- Long handle for leverage
- Edge holds after sharpening
- 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.
