The ABY Hultafors ax is a hybrid model with many uses. It has a straight, finely ground edge and a finger notch below the head for better grip and increased accuracy when working. The long, thin ergonomic handle minimizes weight and at the same time allows great swing force. This ax is ideal not only for building shelters and processing firewood, but also for carving and precision work.
Hultafors axes are still made in Sweden in the Hults Bruk smithy, whose tradition dates back to 1697. The Åby model wears the name of the nearest village where many smithy workers lived in the middle of the 20th century. The head is made of traditional technology from high-quality Swedish steel. Hand forging, the original procedure increases the density and durability of the material. Each ax includes a leather sheath to protect the blade.
If you need to chop wood around your campsite or cottage, build a log cabin or other shelter, it is a great helper. Thanks to the long handle, it provides sufficient swing force even when splitting the stretched wood. A special feature of this model is the finger notch, which allows the ax to be gripped just below the head, which will be especially appreciated by lovers of woodcarving and precision woodworking. The American hickory handle provides a pleasant grip, without sharp edges and unevenness. When working, it effectively absorbs some vibrations, thus reducing the fatigue of your muscles and joints. Impregnation of the handle with linseed oil increases its durability and lets the natural drawing of the wood stand out. There is a lanyard hole at the end of the handle. Thanks to the quality and workmanship , a lifetime warranty is provided on the ax head.
