W/SHA
 

Calling this a Hunting Axe is a little misleading, as It feels like a good all-round axe, suitable for many everyday green woodworking jobs.

Of course there will be times when it will feel too light, or too heavy, but it's well balanced nature and long symetrical bevels give you the impression you could do a whole lot of craftwork with this axe. Needless to say we have one of these in our own tool basket.

Product Description

This is what Wetterlings say about this axe:

Powerful and compact, it's slightly oversized head and short handle makes this a very handy and dexterous axe.

Wetterlings axes are hand made and measured by eye, therefore minor variations may occur.

Product Specification

0.7 kg Turpentine axe head, made from Swedish carbon steel. 3" bit, head 6" long. Slightly rounded, sloping bevel, ground to 24 degree angle without shoulders, hardened to 56-58 RwC,fitted with a 16" curved hickory handle.

Comes with a thick, rivited leather sheath, the Wetterlings Axe Book and a lifetime warranty on the head

Additional notes

Wetterlings are one of the oldest axe makers in Sweden, their power hammers have been working since 1917 and they are one of the few manufacturers to make their own handles from prime American hickory. In the hand, the quality is indisputable.

Axe review by 13 year old Ewan:

I used it for carving, it gave a really smooth cut and it felt nice to work with.  Also used it to split small pieces of firewood and it worked well.

 I liked the fact that the handle is small enough to fit into a backpack but still long enough to be able to put some power behind it.
