Reviews for Hultafors felling axe HY 10-1.2 SV, 840144

Tuesday 3 October 2017

I wanted an axe heavy enough to hammer in plastic and alloy wedges when I was cutting down trees, and to trim off branches and even cut the saw free if it got stuck. I decided on the Hultafors 1200 Gram chopping axe, as it was neither too heavy or too light for the jobs I planned. The axe came with a perfectly fitted handle, grain aligned correctly, and of very good quality. The edge was ground really smooth and consistent, though not very sharp, let me explain this, it would cut you if you pushed on it or drerw your hand along, for me, it is perfect, if it was any sharper it would not not remain this way for long, due to the massive forces inflicted as it is slammed into the wood, I will not sharpen it until it gets dull, I see many people sharpening their axes razor sharp, if they had to work with an axe they would soon wise up as the edge would quickly fade, and most likely chip also. I could not wish for a better product, though if I could change one thing, it would be a longer handle, but other brands are all the same length and plenty of them were shorter. I am very pleased with this axe, its' my first but not last Hultafors, I work with metal, and I know the steel in this axe is as hard as it could be without being that hard it would chip, they got that balance spot on in this axe head.

A beautifully designed and made Scandanavian product. I wasn't sure at first if I should use it, or frame it on my wall. It is a great splitting axe and I'm very happy happy with it.
