Pros & Cons

Pros

Hultafors trekking axe can be attached to a belt. Comes with a fine leather sheath with a simple leather holding strap. The sheath is better than the one's that come with gransfors axes, but be carful reinserting the blade.

Grans bruks, wetterling etc all seem to be far above the field of the hardware-store hatchet i have been using for many years. The handle is my only nitpick with the hatchet. It carves well also.

Nice polished edge and build quality is great. I was impressed with the first swing. It too is superb.

The hickory handle is excellent. The craftsmanship of the blade is superb.

The head was neatly forged and was free of defects other than a small burr on teh top of the head near the cutting edge. It's sharp, it chops, and it's cool!

Cons

My hunch is that they had a bad forging. They kept grinding away to salvage a forging that should not have been used.

Quality

It is ruggedly made, cuts like a beaver, and the balance in the hand is perfect.

Extremely well made and comfortable to hold for both cutting down a small tree or small tight work like splitting small pieces ... Read More

The handle is not in line grain wise with the bit and is not treated at all.

Price

Great ax at a price that was half the cost of anyone else.

I was shopping for a granfors bruks small forrest ax and was horrified to see that these things have doubled in price since i l... Read More

Everybody needs one of these, now i am looking at their forrest ax which is larger but only $3 more.

It's a little pricey, but worth it.

Shipping

Excellent service, item arrived in two days from cove creek outfitters.

This hatchet arrived the same day i ordered it (thanks amazon prime).

The axe arrived on time, along with the stone and oil.

I ordered one of these and was somewhat underwhelmed when it arrived.

Packaging/appearance

This forest axe is the perfect size for packing.

Out of the box, it didn't feel as sharp as i expected, but after 10 minutes with the stone and some gentle circles, this thing was sharp!

Competitiveness

My continued research led me to holtafors, the parent company of a few other tool makers, one of which uses a foundry dating back to 1697.

This axe quality is superior than my gb small forest axe at 2/3 the cost.

(see pic) still, that's not something i want to see on a brand new tool; especially when i could have had other above average a... Read More

Good price considering the quality is equivalent to granfors, etc.
