Hultafors Ågelsjön Mini Hatchet, 450 g Head, 240 mm (9.5 in) Handle
SKU: HU-841760Barcode: 7391408417600
Summary
Hultafors Ågelsjön mini hatchet: the smallest axe in the range, a 450 g hand-forged Swedish steel head on a 240 mm (9.5 in) hickory handle.
Description
The Ågelsjön is the smallest hatchet Hultafors makes, for people who want a capable forged axe in the most compact format possible. Light enough for a rucksack or belt, it is a natural companion for hiking, camping and time around the fire. The short American hickory handle gives excellent one-handed control close to the material, which makes it well suited to kindling, light chopping, carving and other small tasks around camp rather than heavy chopping.
Hults Bruk has forged axes in the Hult valley north of Norrköping, Sweden, since 1697. Each head is hand-forged from Swedish steel, struck repeatedly under the hammer to densify the steel, then tempered so the edge zone stays hard through many sharpenings. The handle is American hickory treated with linseed oil, and a leather edge sheath is included. Because every axe is hand-forged, small variations in weight, dimensions and finish are normal.
The hatchet is named after Ågelsjön, the lake near the forge that once supplied water for its waterwheel.
