Named after the rugged landscapes of Kolmården, the Getå is built for those who need real chopping performance without carrying a full-sized felling axe. Compact enough for camp, canoe, or truck, yet powerful enough for serious woodland work, it bridges the gap between portability and capability. Its 2 lb. head and 20-inch American hickory handle deliver the chopping power and efficiency of a true two-handed axe while remaining easy to pack and carry. Whether felling smaller trees, limbing, processing firewood, or tackling camp chores, the Getå provides an ideal balance of power, control, and portability. The updated Yankee-pattern head features a higher grind that improves edge durability and encourages clean release in the cut, while the refined bit geometry promotes deep penetration and larger chips with every swing. Hand-forged at Hults Bruk from proprietary Swedish steel, the Getå is hand-sharpened and finished forge-black, blending traditional Swedish craftsmanship with the durability and reliability needed for years of hard use in the field.
Product Overview
The Story Behind the Name: Nestled within the forests of Kolmården, Getå and the renowned Getå Ravine are shaped by a winding stream that flows toward Bråviken. This dramatic landscape of steep slopes, rocky terrain, and flowing water has long been admired for its natural beauty. The Getå Forest Axe honors this remarkable place where nature, history, and craftsmanship meet.
