Felling Axe HY 10 (800 g)

The Hultafors Felling Axe HY 10-0,8 SV (800 g) is a compact, all‑round felling axe designed for small‑scale felling, limbing, and general forest or campsite work. Its 800 g head offers a good balance of cutting power and control, making it suitable for users who want a capable felling axe that is still easy to swing for extended periods. With an overall length of about 66 cm (approximately 26"), it sits in the sweet spot between a hatchet and a full‑size felling axe, ideal for bushcraft, cabin, or homestead use.
The axe head is hand‑forged from Swedish axe steel using traditional methods, then blasted and clear‑lacquered for added corrosion resistance. The steel is struck multiple times during forging, increasing its density and durability, and features a tempered zone that allows repeated sharpening while maintaining edge strength. This combination of steel quality and heat treatment provides long‑lasting sharpness and dependable performance in a wide range of wood types.
The curved shaft is made from American hickory, chosen for its strength and shock‑absorbing properties. It is treated with linseed oil for improved grip and protection, giving a natural feel that sits securely in the hand even during harder swings. The medium‑length handle gives good leverage while still being packable in a vehicle, ATV, or sled, making this axe practical for outdoor professionals and enthusiasts.
