Hultafors 840581 KLY 7-0.9 SV Splitting Axe

The splitting axe is hand-forged and made from Swedish axe steel using traditional methods that have been in use since 1697. The steel is struck several times, increasing its density and thereby enhancing the durability of the axe. The shaft, which is curved and made from hickory, has been treated with linseed oil.

The heavier axe is best suited for tackling stronger wood, while the lighter axe is more suitable for basic splitting of "fireplace wood." The axe features a clear tempered zone, allowing it to be sharpened without compromising the strength of the edge.

The splitting axe is crafted from blasted and clear-lacquered ironwork, ensuring a sturdy and visually appealing tool. The hand-forged design, combined with the use of traditional methods, highlights the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into the creation of this axe.

The increased density of the steel, achieved through the repeated striking process, contributes to the overall durability of the axe. This, coupled with the clear tempered zone, allows the user to maintain a sharp edge while preserving the integrity of the tool.

The curved hickory shaft not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the axe but also enhances its functionality. The linseed oil treatment helps to protect and preserve the shaft, ensuring the axe remains in top condition for extended use.

Whether tackling larger, more challenging wood or effortlessly splitting "fireplace wood," this splitting axe is a versatile and reliable tool. The combination of high-quality materials, traditional craftsmanship, and thoughtful design makes this axe a valuable addition to any woodworker's or outdoorsman's toolkit.
