Hults Bruk Åby Forest Axe

The Hults Bruk Åby Forest Axe is a versatile hybrid axe designed for a wide range of outdoor and forestry tasks. Ideal for shelter building, processing firewood, carving, and precision work, this well-balanced axe combines cutting performance with excellent control for bushcraft and forest use.

The long, thin ergonomic handle delivers impressive striking power while keeping overall weight low for comfortable use over extended periods. Crafted from premium American hickory and treated with linseed oil, the handle offers excellent durability and a natural grip that improves control during both heavy swings and detailed work.

Hand forged from high-quality Swedish steel, the axe head is struck 40–60 times during the forging process to increase the density and strength of the metal. The blade features a slightly convex grind with a straighter cutting edge that allows for clean cuts and efficient wood processing. A finger notch below the head enables a close grip for improved precision when carving or performing detailed woodworking tasks.

Supplied sharpened, polished, and ready to use, the axe includes a protective leather sheath for safe storage and transport. Named after the nearby village of Åby, where many Hults Bruk forge workers once lived, this axe reflects the heritage and craftsmanship of traditional Swedish axe making.
