Centuries-old Swedish Craftsmanship with Hand Forging, Hand Grinding, Hand Finishing

Mequon, Wis. (2025) – Since 1697, Hults Bruk axes have been hand made in Norrkoping, Sweden, by professional blacksmiths. This January, the brand is introducing Spika (pronounced “speak a”), a multi-purpose axe with a 17.5″ handle and total weight of 2.1 lbs. In addition, for the first time, Hults Bruk has designed and produced a collection of six essential accessories for its entire line of axes.
Hults Bruk axes are recognized for their strong Swedish steel, solid American hickory handles and heads that are hand-finished for a razor-sharp edge and stamped with the HB logo.

The new Spika boasts a unique hybrid design with a shorter handle and multi-purpose head – a combination that makes the axe more portable and versatile. Spika can be used for precision work like carving and whittling, as well as campsite and bushcraft tasks like chopping, splitting, delimbing and trail maintenance.

“We crafted Spika for the outdoor enthusiast who appreciates meaningful innovation that’s rooted in legendary craftsmanship. And, because it’s so versatile, we believe it will become one of those indispensable tools that you’ll be glad is in your pack,” says Christopher Berg, vice president of international brands, Hultafors Group North America.
