The Hult Splitting Axe (formerly known as the Sarek) features a 3.5 lb. Swedish splitting-pattern head with an approximate 2.75” cutting edge, hand-forged from high-quality Swedish steel at the historic Hults Bruk forge. Engineered for maximum splitting power, the head combines a straight blade with small cheeks and a metal spine along the sides to reduce friction while enhancing wedging action – ideal for breaking apart large logs and firewood. The 30” straight American hickory handle provides excellent leverage and control for powerful, efficient swings. Crafted with enduring Swedish craftsmanship, this axe is built for heavy-duty splitting tasks. Its primary applications include splitting large logs, firewood, and clearing.

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.
