The Wetterhall Double Bit Axe, 1.6 kg Premium is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, designed for both utility and competitive use. Originally employed by lumberjacks who needed a versatile tool with two sharp edges, this axe now finds its place in the hands of enthusiasts and competitors who appreciate its balance, precision, and durability.
Dual-Bladed Design for Versatility: The Wetterhall Double Bit Axe features two edges, allowing the user to switch between them for different tasks. One edge can be reserved for rough work, while the other remains razor-sharp for precise cutting. This dual functionality made it an indispensable tool for lumberjacks and continues to make it a favorite in competitive events.
Hand-Forged Swedish Steel: Each axe head is hand-forged from high-quality Swedish steel at the historic Hults Bruk forge, where axe-making traditions date back to 1697. The steel head is struck 40-60 times during the forging process, enhancing its density and ensuring exceptional durability. This meticulous craftsmanship results in an axe head that can withstand the most demanding tasks.
American Hickory Handle: The 760 mm (30 inches) handle is made from American hickory, known for its strength and shock-absorbing properties. Treated with linseed oil, the handle offers a secure and comfortable grip, making it easier to control during both rough and precision work.
Ready-to-Use Edge: The edges of the Wetterhall Double Bit Axe are sharpened, polished, and ready for immediate use. Whether you're felling trees, splitting wood, or competing in an axe-throwing event, this axe is designed to perform with excellence right out of the box.
Leather Sheath Included: To protect the axe head and maintain its sharpness, the Wetterhall Double Bit Axe comes with a high-quality leather sheath. This not only preserves the cutting edges but also adds to the overall longevity of the tool.
Named after Bo Wetterhall, a man who dedicated his life to the craft at Hults Bruk, the Wetterhall Double Bit Axe is a symbol of tradition, quality, and performance. Whether you're a professional in forestry, an enthusiast in competitive axe throwing, or someone who appreciates the history and utility of a well-made tool, this axe offers unparalleled versatility and reliability.
