This is an axe well-suited to assist you in small-scale forestry. The long shaft adds force to the striking action and the axe is also useful for splitting, bucking, and processing wood. The axe is hand forged and made from Swedish quality steel in the forge at Hults Bruk. The forging tradition goes as far back as 1697. This axe is named after one of the families who served as blacksmiths at Hults Bruk for generations, the Qvarfot’s. Take care of your axe and it will stay a faithful companion for many years.
