Great axe for the woods!! Not too long or too heavy for a trek either.

This brand of axe was recommended to me by a trusted friend. I have been using an old, basic axe for several years mainly for splitting firewood but the handle has been damaged by my occasional ‘overstrike’ and it needed replacing. The Hultafors axe arrived and had an immediate impact, wood splitting was a faster and more efficient operation. The profile and size of the head make this perfect for logs up to 30cm in length and the extra length in the handle provides additional power when needed. There is also the precision necessary for kindling. It feels well balanced and remains a joy to use. I did sand and oil the handle when it arrived and I’m working hard to correct my ‘overstrike’. It is described as a ‘Trekking’ axe but I feel that the length (50cm) and weight would be a bit much. There’s a shorter axe offered by Hultafors that would be my choice. Based on my experience I would be happy to recommend this axe.
