Product Overview

The story behind the name: North of Lake Ågelsjön, a garden named Jakobsdal was created at the end of the 17th century by Hults Bruk owner Eran Graver. More than just a landscape, Jakobsdal was a personal vision – a cultivated reflection of harmony between nature and industry. The Jakobsdal axe embodies this balance, celebrating both the beauty and the toil that shaped our shared heritage.

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.
