Description

Chop firewood and clear dense underbrush with the Husqvarna 26-Inch Wooden Multipurpose Axe. Husqvarna provides a wide range of wooden axes and hatchets for different kinds of work, and this multipurpose axe is ideal for tree felling, log limbing, branch trimming and clearing bushes. This Husqvarna axe head is forged in Sweden from high-quality hand-forged Swedish axe steel for a consistently rugged and reliable product. The head is attached to the handle using both a wooden and a steel axe wedge to secure fastening. Husqvarna's 26-inch hickory axe handle features a slightly curved grip to deliver power to each cut and the proper leverage while swinging. This felling axe includes a Husqvarna leather edge cover to protect the blade and for added safety. Store this wooden axe in moderate temperatures to avoid handle shrinkage.

    • Just opened the package! This axe is awesome!!!
First impressions of this axe are very impressive. This is the first high quality axe I have ever purchased. My previous experience was with cheep easily chipped and damaged camp axes. I read many reviews and decided this axe was the best value, for the price, to fulfill a well rounded assortment of bushcraft and survival needs. My order was delivered on time, was packaged completely wrapped in bubble wrap and totally immersed in air pocket plastic cushioning. It arrived in perfect condition. The finish of this axe totally exceeded my expectations, many have commented on deep grind marks that needed re-filing etc. Not sure if Husqvarna has stepped up their quality control in response to this or if I was just one of the lucky few, but mine is seemingly flawless. Very smooth even grind on both sides, not polished to a mirror sheen, more like a brushed stainless look. I checked the dimensions to see how accurate the description was. Mine is as follows: Head length 6 3/4'', Blade length 4 1/8'', Poll length 2 1/4'', Thickest part of the head 1'', Overall length 20 1/2'', Handle length 17 1/2''. I don't have a scale sensitive enough to give me a reading for the weight but I find the weight to be comfortable when gripped regularly with two hands, as well as when choked up on the grip with one hand behind the blade. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect the blade profile to be. Some pictures show a very strait blade, some show one with a slight convex. Mine is almost completely strait, with just the slightest amount of even curving towards the toe and heel. I plan on using it for light chopping/ splitting as well as a wide variety of carving and bushcraft uses. Right out of the box I tried the paper cutting test to see how sharp it is and it went through very easily. I would say its not razor sharp, but probably not far off. Its definitely way sharper than your average hardware store axe. I ordered a Lansky stone with Lansky honing oil just in case it needed further sharpening. The handle is hung very secure and the grain is in proper alignment with the blade. I am a leather worker and assumed I would be making my own sheath. It is very rare to see decent leather these days in mass produced products. The oil tanned leather used to make this sheath is exactly what I would have used had I made it myself! Its thick, durable, stayed easily on the blade, and even the rivets used to hold it together are better quality than any I would normally be able to find for my own projects. I read one review that described the warning diagrams on the handle as saying "it was not supposed to be used as a hammer". This concerned me because the use of the poll/hammer end of the axe was one of the reasons I ordered this particular one. I'm relieved to see the warning diagrams up close. They appear to be specifically discouraging using a maul to pound on the poll, as well as discouraging using the axe to pound on splitting wedges. As far as I know the vast majority of these types of axes, regardless of brand are not to be used in this way. The eye is not forged to take that kind of abuse and can be deformed under extreme stress. For lighter camp type hammering like tie down stakes etc, this axe should work as well as any other. Overall I would highly recommend this axe. I haven't seen any expensive Gransfors Bruks axes in person, but I've watched many videos and seen many photos. I seriously can't imagine they would be much, if at all, better than the condition this axe came in. Props to Husqvarna for putting out such a great product at such a reasonable price. If I buy another axe like a hatchet or forest axe, I'm going strait to Husqvarna again!!! And props to Amazon for they're excellent packaging and free shipping, as well as easy payment! ... show more

I literally just opened the box and I must say, impressed! I purchased this axe from amazon after doing extensive research and reading nearly all the reviews. The husqvarna multipurpose axe is everything you'd imagine! Right out of the box it screams quality and ranks right up there with the $150-$250 brands. The hickory handle is near perfect in placement, smooth satin finish. It very well may be unfinished wood with a coat of linseed, not quite sure. The axe handle has the company logo and "Husqvarna" printed about 3 inches below the head and pictorials (indicating not to used the axe as a hammer or use a hammer on the axe) and "Hickory" on the reverse as well as a tapered hole for hanging or lanyard use at the far opposite end of the head. The head has a black, rough, blacksmith look to it and sharply stamped with the Husqvarna logo. "HAND FORGED" & "MADE IN SWEDEN" stamped under the logo. The blade has a nice sharp edge, sharper than an axe you'll pick up at Ace, Lowes, Home Depot or any other hardware store. Although I am pleased with the sharpness of the edge and it's "ready to use" manufactured edge, I will be doing some fine tuning to make it cut paper finer than it does. There are 3 distinct sharpening zones indicating the manufacturer (which I believe to be S. A. Wetterlings) does this the old fashion and in my opinion, the right way. The blade is protected by a distressed brown leather sheath that fits snuggly with a button snap, positioned on the bottom back of the sheath and wrapping around the underside of the axe head about 3/4"-1" from the cutting edge. The sheath is held together with four large rivets in the cutting edge position. The sheath's rivets and button snap hardware are bronze in color. I'll personally be treating the sheath with saddle soap for moisture protection. This axe has been widely named on multiple resellers websites and even on husqvarna.com as a traditional multi-purpose axe. Upon removing it from the shipping box the husqvarna label had it named "forest axe" which fits the size, weight (+\- 3lbs) and category of axes this particular offering most resembles. Specs: Total length; 26 1/8 inches. Handle thickness; 1 inch. Head length (cutting edge to heel); 6 5/8 inches. Head thickness (thickest); 1 1/8 inches. Cutting edge length; 3 1/4 inches. This axe is a must have for any outdoorsman for any number of tasks. It's smaller than your typical felling axe but large enough to get the job done. S A Wetterlings Scandinavian Forest axe is basically a splitting (no pun intended) image of this Husqvarna axe in size, weight and everything else! Wetterlings axe comes in at $130! I snagged this one here on Amazon for $54.99! Do the math and after reading this detailed review, you'll see why my review title is VALUE VALUE VALUE! I may just pick up another one, or two just because these types of value for the money don't fall out of trees that often, unless your using a Husqvarna Forest Axe! ... show more
