Hultafors (Hults Bruk) 850g 60cm axe

[Imagedude]

This axe is very similar to the GB Scandi Forest Axe but is about 5% lighter and shorter. It is supplied without a sheath (mask) and cost less than £32 inc. delivery.

26" long

The business end

From above

Edge is OK but can be improved

This would have been the perfect camp axe for my recent trip to Norway. I'm not too fussed about the lack of a mask as I'd probably want to make one to my own specs.
In conclusion, it's a piece of wood with a lump of metal on the end for less than half the price of other wood stick/metal lump combos.

A gucci version with mask is available for twice the price.

....and made by Cegga and his mates. Great axe!

I assume the 850g is the head weight, so all in the axe would weigh just over a kilo? Is that correct? Good axe for the money!

 

[Imagedude]

850g (1.9lbs) is the head weight.

That looks about right ID, nice buy

I'm rehandling an Aldi 'special' 1000g hatchet for the winters fun at the moment with a 60 cm handle.

I was given one as a retirement present last month, They knew I wanted one; I recently made a mask for it. http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88060&highlight=axe+mask I have not used the axe yet but it looks and feels "right" even more than my slightly shorter Hudson Bay modified by Brian Andrews (backyard Bushman)

Among my other axes is a 3.5 lb Hultafors Agdor axe different head shape more traditional, with a friend I have felled a 40' dead tree with it, the axe was still sharp afterwards, as my back pack is the rear of my car most of the time, weight is not a problem...
