This is a solid splitting axe, intended for heavier duties such as splitting logs and wood. The shape of the head, in combination with it’s slightly convex grinding, allows the axe to split large rounds of wood with less effort. The Hult Splitting axe has a long and straight handle made from American hickory, enabling the user to gain maximum control and force when splitting logs. The name of this axe has its origin in Hult, the area where Hults Bruk was founded. Like most old Swedish geographical names, it describes the surrounding landscape of the place.

"I have had the Abi axe for years and when I needed a splitter. No other option in my options!"
"Razor sharp. Best axe I have ever owned!"
"Well constructed as expected from the Swedes! Nicely crafted / forged axe head. Looks nicely hand crafted, not mass produced. crap. Nicole made handle of quality wood. Nicely polished, very sharp edge. Works nicely with the Hultafors splitting wedge also purchased here. Thx again👊"
"Recently got this axe, and after several days of splitting I can say it’s a great tool for the job. Very sharp out of the box, and nice classy leather sheath. Head is very manageable and the straight handle feels good on those full-stem swings. The head shape really seems to help some with a better split when encountering knots. I use this for making my medium size wood pieces from the large splits I bought from a local arborist. I tried it on full large uncut logs, (just for kicks) but no dice. A heavy maul is a tool for a reason. This axe along with my small forest axe take care of 90% of my axe needs. Two thumbs up. (Can’t comment on durability yet)."

"This is a great axe, excellent quality and craftsmanship."
"This axe is razor sharp! It exceeded all of my expectations on maple, birch and other tough woods. 100% would recommend."
"This thing is just gorgeous and cuts through wood like a knife through hot butter. The customer service at Kent in Inglewood was excellent and they helped me pick out the perfect axe for my needs."
