Hults Bruk 840771 Spika Hunting & Forest Axe – 1.5 lb Head, 17.5″ Handle

SPIKA is the perfect all-purpose axe for the forest life. It has the same type of head as the Hults Bruk Akka forester’s axe, but the handle is shorter – 17.5 inches long – making the axe more portable. The shorter handle also allows for working with the axe closer to your body. The axe head is hand forged at the historic Hults Bruk, a forge that has been in operation since 1697 – blackened, hand-finished, razor-sharp with a polished edge. Each axe head is made from high-quality Swedish axe steel, expertly tempered to hold a very sharp edge even after repeated sharpening. The curved handle is made from American hickory, sanded and protected with linseed oil and engraved with the HB logo. The axe is ideal for precision work such as carving, whittling, or building fire stands or shelters around a camp site. A well-proportioned hand notch allows you to grip around the head and steer the axe with maximum control. The semi-straight edge with a flat and wide grind allows the axe to rest firmly against the work piece. With its slightly curved edge the axe can be used for light forestry work such as clearing a path or trail-maintenance. The head is slightly thicker over the cheeks, giving it good splitting capabilities for chopping firewood. The axe also features a curved narrow handle with a pronounced end knob for a more secure grip.
