Product Overview

The story behind the name: Named after the serene lake Ågelsjön, which lies near our historic forge, this hatchet honors the essential role water played in Hults Bruk’s story. The crystal waters of Ågelsjön once powered the mill’s water wheel, harnessing nature’s strength to forge tools that shaped the region. Each swing of this hatchet echoes the tireless current that drove progress for generations – a source of life and industry, forever linked to our legacy.

  • Refined Finish: Hand-finished 1 lb. head with polished razor-sharp edge; expertly tempered to hold extremely sharp edge even after repeated sharpening
  • Quality Handle: 9.4” curved American hickory handle, sanded, treated with linseed oil, and engraved with the Hults Bruk logo

Product Highlight

Hults Bruk axe heads are forged from customized high-quality steel, with an alloy specifically engineered for this purpose, providing exceptional strength and performance. The steel is produced completely CO₂-neutral and is fully recyclable. Each head is hand-forged using the open-die free forging method. The axe head is then hardened and tempered for long-lasting durability. With a hardness of approximately 54–56 HRC on the Rockwell scale, these axe heads offer superior sharpness and edge retention. The cutting edge is hand-ground and polished to ensure precision and reliability with every swing. As one of the final steps in the forging press, each axe head is proudly stamped with the traditional Hults Bruk mark - a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.
