Hultafors HB Aby Axe

An axe for woodworking. The straight blade, grind and finger cutout in the head also allow for precision work such as planing. The Aby model was so named after the nearest village to Hults Bruk, where many workers worked in the mid-20th century.

The axe head is made of forged Swedish carbon steel processed using centuries-old traditional methods. The metal is hammered up to 60 times during forging, increasing its density and strength.

The long, thin and ergonomically shaped axe (handle) minimizes weight, while still providing adequate force on impact. The grip is made of hickory wood, which has been preserved with linseed oil.

A leather case is included to protect the blade.
