Description
Husqvarna provides a wide range of wooden axes for different kinds of work. These axes are forged in Sweden from Swedish axe steel with a consistently high quality. With good maintenance, your axe will last for a long time. Don't store in too warm conditions, since the handle might shrink. Always dry of dirt and moisten before putting the axe cover on. If the axe is put away for a longer time, grease it to prevent rust.

Not perfect out of the box... but a great value nonetheless!
Perfection comes with a price tag. In my experience, there is a nice middle ground where you get the most bang for your investment. This hatchet hits that sweet spot perfectly. So what do you get for $42 and free shipping? My first impression mirrored most here: This is a rather well-built tool. The forging was left clean but with imperfections. No attempt was made to smooth out the rough spots left by the hand forging of the head. It has a very pleasing appearance, however, and was finished with an "acceptable" edge ground into the bit. I'm certain you could press this hatchet into service immediately out of the box, but you'll likely end up wishing you had put a better edge on it in the first place. After 20 or 30 minutes with a puck-type oil stone, the edge was more to my liking. Fortunately, it appears the steel used will hold an edge well, so a minor dressing now and again should keep you going. Next, the handle. This was the one area I didn't expect to need some TLC. While you certainly don't want a glass-smooth finish, this hatchet's handle had the approximate finish of a construction-grade 2x4 stud. I hit it with some medium-grit sandpaper to smooth out the snags and splinters, then cleaned up my dust and wiped it down with a blend of turpentine and boiled linseed oil. In my experience, this blend will soak into the wood better than boiled linseed oil alone, and leaves behind a nice protective coating. There were some positives with the handle, however. The grain of the hickory handle was straight and true, with no visible knots or imperfections. The handle was wedged nicely with a quality round metal wedge driven right in the center of the eye to lock everything together. Bottom line? For roughly twice the price of that cheap-o hatchet with a tubular steel handle on the shelf of the nearest big-box retailer, you get a hand-forged tool that should last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. You'll need to do some work right out of the box to get a good edge on the bit and address the handle finish. When you're finished, though, you'll have a tool that is on par with some of the high-end hatchets that are twice or three times the price. And that, my friends, is a great value.

Excellent wooden handle, hand-forged hatchet for $42.
Here's is exactly what I received: Specifications: Overall length is 15-inches with a 1/4-inch of wood sticking out beyond the axe head. The head (eye length) is 2-1/8-inches, so this leaves 12-5/8-inches below the axe head to the end of the handle. From the cutting edge to the poll/butt (hammer end) the length is 5-7/8-inches. The widest part of the head (located in center of the eye/where handle goes through head) is 1-1/16-inches. Total weight with sheath is 2-lbs 4.5-ounces, and sheath weighs 1-ounce. The handle width where you expect to grip is 1-3/8-inches along the Husqvarna label side and 7/8" on the thinner side (90-degrees to the Husqvarna label axis). Construction: Exactly as described with hickory handle, Husqvarna label printed on handle (as pictured vs. burnt into the wood) and "HAND FORGED MADE IN SWEDEN" with trademark stamped into head. It looks great and feels solid. The wedge and pinning of the head was a bit off to one side, but I don't care. It did slightly damage the appearance on the one side--splitting the wood a bit as it got too close to the edge, but I don't care providing the head stays firmly attached and doesn't wobble. At this point the head is solidly attached with zero slop. The edge came pretty dull and needs love, but then again, you're going to spend the next several days looking at it and caressing it without purpose anyway! So with a medium and fine stone and proper sharpening, this will cut paper like the best of hatchets. Finish: The wood came fairly smooth with a thin (urethane?) coating. I sanded it the entire handle with 600-grit sandpaper and then applied boiled linseed oil. Not only does linseed oil protect the wood, but it's also good for protecting the iron from rusting as well. Of course after all this, the grip was smooth and bit slick (think rain, sweat...and dropping it from 50+ feet up), so I used some grip adhesive on the grip area prior to setting out to fell trees with a chainsaw. As for the leather edge guard, it's made of thick, darker brown leather (appears very durable) and stays perfectly in place with one snap. It has four heavy duty rivets on the leading edge. Of course this is NOT a sheath for mounting to a belt. It's simply an edge guard for use in storage. If you want a quick and dirty axe holder, buy a hammer holder (and belt, if necessary) from Amazon or a local home improvement store. They're cheap. No axemen cover their axe head when out in the field, but we do maintain the tool--especially the cutting edge--which means proper sharpening and covering while in storage including keeping all the iron thinly oiled to prevent rust. Intended use: When felling trees, I use this axe to delimb (when climbing) and to pound in felling wedges when cutting. It's manly enough to slam wedges fast and hang conveniently from my belt, yet light and small enough not get in the way of business. Mostly it stays put in the tool holder on my belt until needed. It's absolutely perfect for these tasks. Now, it being a hatchet, I'll throw it in the truck for camping, but I'd suggest a bigger axe for bucking which frankly should be left to a chainsaw (or bow saw if you're in manual mode). I'd try Husqvarna's 20" splitter axe if you plan on manually splitting logs. Then again, I prefer a good old sledge hammer and wedge if I'm in manual mode myself (sans hydraulic splitter). The handle does have printing to the effect it's not intended to be pounded as a wedge nor for hammering other steel like splitting wedges. Primarily, it's designed to chop (cut into) wood and pound plastic wedges, so again if you plan on splitting logs manually, try Husqvarna's 20" splitting axe that's designed to do this. Of course, with safety glasses and in a pinch, I'd use this hatchet to split a large log if it's all I had; however, I wouldn't fault the company/axe if I destroyed it using it for unintended purposes. Conclusion: For $41.99 (+ free Prime shipping), it's a great hatchet. As for longevity, I'm confident it's good kit, but we'll have to wait and see how long it lasts. Already it performs very well for me and the tasks assigned to it. Comparatively, at a local store selling premium Granfors Bruks, the hatchet I shop-compared was $190. Nice looking but I couldn't justify the price difference for my intended use. Ultimately, this $42 Husqvarna is all this feller needs which leaves roughly $150 towards another $1,000+ chainsaw that cuts like magic and makes traditional felling/bucking look prehistoric.

Great potential, good value, handle poor and fitted worse
My experience echoes that of another review titled "crap shoot with quality control, don't buy sight unseen." However I'm a little more forgiving given the price point and quality of the axe head. If I were buying again I would spend a little more and go with an actual Hultafors or a Helko Werk unless I could pick my own axe out of many in a store front. Shipping 2/5 The axe arrived in an adequately sized box, lightly filled with paper, but still allowing the axe to move freely. Additionally no additional protection was given to the axe head, so the only protection was the very bad sheath (see below). The axe head arrived slightly damaged due to the packaging and the bad sheath. My Helko axe had an additional cardboard protection on the axe head that prevented this (plus the sheath is vastly superior). Sheath 2/5 Only reason it receives a 2 instead of a 1 is because I was able to modify it until I buy something better. The sheath I received used metal rivers instead of brass, which makes it more likely that if the blade comes into contact with the rivets that damage will occur. Which is precisely what happened in transit. Also, the metal backing to the clasp rubs against the side of the bit. Axe head 5/5 Aside from the damage done by the poor sheath, the axe head is beautiful, arrived sharp, and takes an edge well. No complaints. Handle/fitting 2/5 The grain of the handle is very wide and at a sharp angle to the head. Very disappointing on a small hatchet. The fitting was also very bad. Not only are their significant gaps at the bottom of the head, but it wasn't set level on the handle. With occasional use I think the handle will be fine, but with moderate to heavy use I'm certain it will get loose. After one use 4/5 The hatchet performed admirably on cutting through a 3 inch live tree. The head hasn't loosened yet, but I'm not holding my breath. Conclusion 4/5 The forging is high quality steel, Hultafors did a good job as usual. But once Husqvarna got involved it went downhill. I really want to like this hatchet, and it does have great value for the money, but I'm still disappointed in the quality control. It receives a 4 instead of a 3 because the part that matters is high quality. In the photos notice the damage to the bit of the head and the gap between the head and the handle.

The Perfect Camping Hatchet for the Discerning Buyer
This is a great hatchet for a great price. As far as I can tell, these are still made by Hults Bruk in Sweden, but sold by Husqvarna at 1/4 the price. Husky might be saving money by reducing quality control, but the issues I've seen are worth the steep discount since they don't affect the performance or longevity of the product. I think the weight is perfect but I don't plan on carrying it very far. It has enough length and heft to get some work done, but still fits in the camping gear like small hatchet. Smaller hatchets just aren't effective enough to make it worthwhile. It's too heavy for backpacking, but I stopped carrying hatchets in favor of a small folding saw, or nothing at all(except a good knife). This, like all hatchets of this design, shouldn't be used for heavy pounding, nor should one pound it through a log like a splitting maul. A solid steel hatchet, like an Estwing, might be more practical if you plan to use it that way. First, the good details: Mine came very sharp right out of the box, not quite shaving sharp, but close enough for a hatchet. A razor sharp edge doesn't last long when you're chopping anyway. It also had straight grain running the length of the handle (as much as possible with the curve of the handle). It's not an extremely tight grain, but better than you'd expect for the price. I should also point out that these issues aren't as important on a short handled hatchet as they are on a long handled axe. Most people won't be putting enough stress on a hatchet handle for grain patterns to make any difference, as long as the wood is good quality, which this seems to be. The bad: Not much. Mine came with a tiny burr at the very tip of the edge. I took it off with my fingernail, and a stone would remove any trace in about a second. I still haven't felt the need to do that. The grind on the edge isn't perfectly symmetrical, or uniform from bottom to top - it fades off toward the top corner, but that's just splitting hairs. It works perfectly as is and would only take a bit of careful sharpening to make it look perfect as well. The sheath is adequate for protecting the edge in a car. Mine won't fall off, but it could work its way off if you strapped the hatched to a backpack. I don't see a need to replace it. I considered paying ~$140+ for a Gransfors Bruk or Hults Bruk but I'm glad I didn't. I feel like I got a Hults at a great bargain. I'm sure there are details that make the other better, but at $35 I'm not afraid to let someone else use this, pound a tent stake, or just use it like the camping hatchet that it is. And it still gives me that great feeling of using a beautiful, quality product that most cheaper hatchets can't.

I like this Hatchet
I like this Hatchet, a lot ! I like the Swedish steel. It was everything I Expected. I received this March 10, of this year 2017. Here's the upside. 1. Grain orientation was good. The grain ran straight end to end on the Handle at 1 o'clock. perfectly acceptable orientation for me. 2. Handle was totally unfinished, no shiny finish of any sort. to me this was important as a shiny finish can and will create Hot spots on the hand if used for a length of time. On my hands anyway 3, Handle was double wedged into the head with a round steel wedge as well as a wooden one and was a nice fit to the head on both sides 4. out of the box, had a decent working edge although it did need a bit of sharpening, also to my liking which I expected and could appreciate 5.I love the width of the handle and the curvature. I have a large/x-large hand and the way of the curve makes for an easy two handed hold for chopping n splitting which I often use. I also like the way it feels when I choke up on the handle for finer tasks The Down Side ,, none for me really,, for others possibly 1. If you have a small to med sized hand there could be some discomfort in the holding of this tool while using it which may possibly lead into improper handling and control issues while using this hatchet. As always, I feel that any tool especially a cutting tool should be comfortable to the user, if it isn't, chances of a accident/mishap are greatly increased. If possible. know what your getting into before you get into it, safely. 2. The leather mask which this comes with on mine was just a bit too loose for me but not by much on the one I received. Nice Quality Mask for sure, just a wee bit loose as in, could possibly wiggle off when packing it.I cured this by treating the Leather with 2 applications of Mink oil and somewhat hand forming the leather to a better fit, which tightened it up to where you couldn't wiggle the mask off. Easy Enough. I then sunk a small Brass grommet in the bottom welt of the mask equal to the size of the rivets and 1 degree less in between of the two forward rivets and ran a leather lace which i tied behind the head over the handle. (I knotted the lace either side of rivet so would not come out, if interested) Easy enough. Hope this helps someone trying too decide as to whether to pull the purchase trigger. I like mine ! I'll do everything with this that I'll do with a more expensive option, just as well. I'd recommend ,, if it fits ya

Great investment, nicest hatchet I've ever owned!
Solid hatchet, decently sharp multi-purpose edge out of the box. Single bevel as I expected. Hone with a stone, of course. Splitting and chopping are both possible with the design. It's halfway in between, not too narrow or wide a head. Very comfortable in my hand (4" palm, 4" middle finger) though perhaps nearly too thick right next to the head (detail work is still totally doable, however, and it's absolutely perfect when grasped properly 3/4 down the haft). Handle unfinished hickory with beautiful grain, no heartwood, straight / proper direction for lifetime use. I sanded it down, planning to apply Linseed oil asap. Head is unique, hand-forged and beautiful. Yeah, maybe it's been made to look extra beat-up for asthetics but you can easily see real hammer marks from the blacksmithing process. Makes all the difference, I can already tell this axe will be my favorite tool for many years to come. Good deal compared to Grandsfors Bruks and other Swedish makers, for all I know this was crafted by someone in those circles anyways! It's a heavy, sharp and well secured axe head and that's all I need. By the way, the sheath works just fine. Not sure why people have said it falls off, yeah you can buy or make a better one but it seems solid enough. I would prefer canvas/synthetic material to leather though. One note, personal preference, I HATED seeing Husqvarna branding and safety/usage warnings on the handle. They were printed into the wood deep enough that it took a few solid minutes of sanding to remove them. Sorry if that offends anyone, I still plan to recommend the axe to others - and remember - it's still got the Husqvarna logo pounded into the head forever.

Excellent Hatchet for the Price
Style: 13" Wooden Hatchet
This is an excellent hatchet for the price with a Swedish forged head. From my understanding its actually made by Hults Bruk and from looking at the pictures of the two, I tend to agree. You get a great hatchet and at less than half the price of the Hults Bruk. The biggest difference is this one isn't quite as finished and the expensive one. By that I mean the edge is not near as sharp. It seems to be ok for general use and has a serviceable edge but you won't be shaving with is as you can with the Bruk. Also, as I ran my finger along the bottom of the head between the heel and handle there were a lot of burrs that could cut skin. They were small and hard to see by eye, but definitely very easy to feel. The good news was they were very easy to remove by a light filing. It was also easy to put a better edge on it since it was so close originally. A nice sheath also comes with it. The handle feels a little thick for me where it meets the head but this would be personal preference. Nothing that can't be addressed if I really wanted to. All in all, this is a great value from a quality manufacturer. It would be hard to do better for the price.

Excellent quality axe.
Update_______ Ok, so I've tried and tested this little axe and now own a GF Small Forest Axe too. The GF is better weighted and better finished no doubt but it's considerably more expensive. I love them both but the fact of the matter is that the Husqvarna is far better value, and for me great to use because I care less if it gets beaten up. Excellent little axe and excellent value. --------------------------------------- I just received this axe so it hasn't been tried and tested. However, based on some of the less than favorable reviews I have read on Amazon, I wanted to give my initial view. This axe is superb quality for the price. It has a true handmade, rustic and durable feel (if you want mechanically clean and precise tools then go elsewhere). The weight is excellent and the leather cover fits perfectly. It is exactly the image on the site. The edge also came razor sharp. It even arrived 3 days before the earliest estimated date. So given some of the conflicting reports I can only assume there is a potential problem with consistency or these guys have addressed the criticisms and have now delivered exactly what their customers want. Some of the older reviews seem to talk of issues so I can only assume it's the latter. I am not an expert and though I did some good online research before the purchase, I do not have direct experience of the GB product line for example. However, I can't imagine that the GBs warrant double to triple the price of this axe. Based on initial impressions I can thoroughly recommend. Excellent quality and value.
