Hultafors ABY Forest Axe

Quality is fantastic. And as a bonus it looks amazing. Nice light axe packs easily. The leather cover is very nice leather as well. I love the handle, I use boiled linseed oil on it.

Mfg perfection!...handle fit & orientation, very sharp polished edge. L Comfortably slim handle is 4+" longer than GB SFA, and axe is only 4.4 ounces heavier. Plus head is cut out some for choking up for fine work....cheeks a bit thicker for splitting. All features some bushcraft folks seem to prefer over the SFA. And just for fun, check out Hultafors/Hults Bruk Ekelund hunter's axe, IMHO a GB SFA on steroids...same head shape as SFA but about 8 ounces heavier.

This axe is perfect. I didn't need a full-size axe for felling or chopping enormous logs. But this thing is lighter than my camp carver hatchet and the longer handle gives me extra leverage when splitting small logs. It's RAZOR sharp as well. The smaller head and light weight make it useful for small intricate tasks such as feathersticking. I realy can't say enough good about this. It pairs nicely with the 21" Agawa Boreal Saw (in terms of length) they pair perfectly in the Campcraft canvas axe carrier. It's well worth the money.

Now I can’t speak for longevity as i’ve had the aby forest axe only a few days, however out of the box the axe had a great looking polish on the grind while leaving the forge scale on the rest of the head (looks great and the forge scale helps to prevent further oxidation) but as far as chopping goes i haven’t had any issues and it feels great in the hand, if i remember to update on how it stands the test of time i will.

Superb quality. The axe is sharp enough to cut paper right out of the box. I chopped and whittled with it a little bit already. I’m going to get in the woods and put it through it’s paces but I have no reservations about the capability of this axe. The quality is next level.

I chose Hultafors believing in it's integrity. Although the axe I received was not what I was expecting, I developed a bond with it instantly. An axe is a person's best friend that will assist you in a myriad of task and situations. I know I can trust this Axe and that it will take care of me as I take care of it. Hultafors makes an excellent product.

Well balanced and sharp axe.

Symmetrical head. Finish is as forged. Nicely sharp. Handle grain is a bit twisted for a tool of this cost. Handle is rough sanded and oiled. Also it's a bit proud at the top. This should make a good tool once the handle is smoothed a bit. There are so few choices for a new, high quality axe. It's a shame that for $170.00 an axe factory can't turn out a better finished product.

Liegt gut in der Hand und ist perfekt ausgewogen. Schneller Versand. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

La verdad es que me ha gustado todo en general, el peso es idóneo para portarla sin mayor complejidad a cualquier lugar donde se requiera su uso, si la llevas en la mochila no notarás de su existencia pero, ojo, a pesar de su peso este hacha come madera vertiginosamente. El afilado es perfecto y aguanta los trotes como el caballo del rey, la ergonomía es excelente también, te permite swings con un agarre más que óptimo. En mi caso el mango me ha salido perfecto, las vetas de la madera son completamente paralelas al filo por lo que se me garantiza muuuuchisimos años de uso a simple vista. El hacha vale el dinero sin duda. Lo bueno de este tipo de hacha es que es multifuncional, lo mismo te sirve para talar que para batonear madera o retirar la corteza, si tienes una buena piedra de afilar también te sirve para afeitarte, nunca se sabe. Si tengo que ponerle una pega la única crítica que se me ocurre ahora mismo es que la funda de cuero de la hoja habría sido mejor, para mí gusto, que hubiese traído un botón para cerrarla en lugar de un cordón de cuero ya que con el tiempo este se desgastará y se terminará rompiendo.

Ottimo strumento da lavoro

Es perfecta para lo q necesito , el acero , el filo convexo pulido a espejo y el mango nogal americano !! Y el vendedor Sagitarius project super servicial con envio rapidisimo ! Totalmente recomendable !!!
