Swedish Craftsmanship Since 1697
Hults Bruk has forged axes in Sweden for more than three centuries. Each head is open-die forged, hardened, tempered, hand-ground, and fitted to an American hickory handle. Natural wood grain and hand finishing create minor cosmetic variations, making every axe individual without affecting performance.
