Felling Axe HY 10 (1.2 kg)

The Hultafors Felling Axe HY 10 (1.2 kg) steps up in size and power for users tackling larger trees and more demanding felling tasks. Its 1.2 kg head paired with a 700 mm / 28" handle delivers significantly more impact per swing than the 900 g version, making it well‑suited to processing bigger diameters and dense wood species. The increased length gives better leverage and reach while still remaining manageable for extended use in the forest or at the cabin.
Like the rest of the HY 10 series, the head is hand‑forged from high‑quality Swedish axe steel using traditional methods, then tempered to create a durable edge zone that can be resharpened repeatedly. The forging process densifies the steel for improved toughness and edge retention, while the working surface is finished to resist corrosion in outdoor conditions. This combination gives a robust, reliable tool designed for long‑term service life.
The long, curved hickory handle is shaped for secure two‑handed grip and efficient power transfer, with a profile that helps guide the axe naturally into the cut. It is treated with linseed oil for a comfortable, non‑slippery feel and good feedback in the hands. For users who want a single primary felling axe with enough reach and swing weight to handle substantial trees, the HY 10 (1.2 kg) hits a strong balance between power and maneuverability.
