The Åby is a versatile forest axe designed to handle a wide range of tasks in the woods. Its hybrid head combines characteristics from different axe types, while the long, slender handle provides the reach and leverage needed for more powerful work. The semi-straight cutting edge and broad grind provide good control for carving and precision work, while the shape of the head makes the Åby equally capable of light felling, limbing and processing firewood. A pronounced hand notch allows you to grip close to the head when greater control is needed. The long American hickory handle adds momentum and reach to the swing without making the axe unnecessarily heavy. This combination of power, precision and versatility makes the Åby particularly well suited to shelter building, general forest work and situations where one axe needs to perform many different tasks. The head is hand-forged at Hults Bruk and hand-sharpened before being fitted to its American hickory handle. Versatile, balanced and capable of both powerful and precise work, the Åby is a true all-round forest companion.
