Bought this as a hybrid between a smaller forest/camping axe and a larger felling axe, and I love it. Small, lightweight head makes it a fast, accurate chopper, as well as a precise tool for lighter limbing. Handle is great, grain orientation is perfect, no knots, no spits, and the wedge is solid. A few wipes with some Danish oil and it looks lovely. The head is great. Perfect geometry for an all-rounder, with more of a focus on deep cuts than splitting. Edge came very sharp, and polished up nicely with some elbow grease. Sharpens easily enough, but it's hard, and will take some abuse. Honestly can't recommend it enough, and at 1/4 the price of a Gransfors, Hultafors will definitely be seeing more custom from me!

Good quality, takes a very sharp edge if you take time to hone it. Tempted to go for a heavier axe, but light weight makes it very easy to carry round. Long handle gives a good swing, small head is good for finer work e.g. chopping kindling.

Good cutting edge, head fitted correctly to helve, good length, natural wood left upto individual to treat which is perfect as no varnish etc, only small adjustments needed to helve width to fit hand comfortabley at the closer handhold for finer axe work, and a quick general thinning of helve so has flex, much better than many on the market by far, if you want a light and combination axe you can't go far wrong with quality you get with it

This axe has a really good feel, sharp, well finished and not too heavy,(important if you're using it for any length of time. Excellent quality from one of the best axe makers in the world.

I bought this to complement my 3kg maul which is quite heavy but excellent for stubborn logs. This Hultafors axe is so different. It is lightweight, balanced and very sharp. I have not tried, but can imagine you could shave with it (don't try this at home) I use it for many other things than just splitting logs, like stripping branches too. A good versatile and good value axe.
