The shape of the head, combined with slightly convex grinding, splits the wood. The Hult axe has a long and straight handle made from American hickory, to gain maximum speed and control when splitting logs. It is hand forged and made from Swedish quality steel. The name of this axe has its origin in Hult, the are where Hults Bruk was founded. Like most old Swedish geographical names, it describes the surrounding landscape of the place.
