The Hultafors Dvardala Axe is made of Swedish CO2-neutral axe steel. Hand-forged in Hults Bruk according to tradition since 1697. The semi-straight edge has a Scandinavian premium grind which is polished, razor-sharp and ready for use. Fitted with a curved, narrow wooden handle. Made from linseed oil-treated American hickory with a pronounced end knob for a more secure grip. Perfect for hunting and forest life. It is a combination of several different axe types, ideal for a day in the forest where you might have to deal with a wide range of challenges. The axe is suitable for precision work such as carving or building shelters, fire stands and other things around a campsite. This is thanks to a well-proportioned hand notch and a semi-straight edge with a flat and wide grind. The hand notch allows you to grip around the head and steer the axe with maximum control. The edge is a semi-straight with flatter sides allowing the axe to rest firmly against the workpiece when you cut along a piece of wood. But it’s still curved enough so the axe can be used for lighter forestry work such as clearing a path or a line of fire. The head is a bit thicker over the cheeks giving it good splitting capabilities so you can chop firewood. Supplied with a sheath made of vegetable tanned Swedish grain leather. Specifications: Head Weight: 0.7kg. Handle Length: 440mm (17in).
