Hand-Forged Swedish Steel: Crafted in the historic forge at Hults Bruk, the axe head is made from premium Swedish steel.

Measuring 800 mm (32 inches), this handle is designed to maximize speed and force during use, giving you the power needed to take on the toughest jobs.

4. Rubber Overmolded Handles: Feature a core material (like fiberglass or steel) covered with rubber for improved grip and vibration dampening.
