Any of you guys own and do any work with a Hults Bruk axe? I have a couple Gransfors Bruk tools, a Wildlife Hatchet and Small Forest Axe. I have used the GB tools for years and haven't been disappointed with them. My son seems to have laid claim to my Small Forest Axe so I looked for a replacement. I could have bought another GB, but decided I wanted to try something a bit different.
I bought a Hults Bruk Akka Foresters Axe. The Akka has a 1.5 pound head and 24" handle. The head is a little lighter than the GB SFA and the handle is a little longer. It is possible to work the Akka pretty easily with one hand choked up on the handle. And when chopping something bigger you get a lot of head speed with the HB Akka. I think I like it better than my old GB SFA. A short video...
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I have a very old Hults Bruk Puget Sound pattern. I suspect it is laminated steel. When I was still using it, I discovered a file would cut the cheeks back beautifully, but would slide on the center cutting edge...and it required a carborundum stone to dress the cutting edge. But that was not a bad thing, it would hold the edge twice as long as the old True Tempers that the company provided. I wonder if they are still laminated.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

The dude in the video should let his husband do the chopping.

No real personal experience, but I did buy one as one of the Christmas gifts I bought my employees for our party exchange. The one I purchased was impressive- unfortunately I didn't bring it home with me. Wicked sharp out of the box.
