Part number: 840712

The Ekelund is a compact felling axe designed for felling, limbing and other forest work where mobility and control are important. It combines the head of a larger felling axe with a shorter handle, creating a powerful yet versatile tool that is easy to carry through the forest. The head provides solid cutting power, while the shorter American hickory handle brings the user closer to the work and offers good control through the swing. This balance between power and mobility makes the Ekelund particularly well suited to smaller trees, limbing and situations where a full-sized felling axe would be less practical. Its convex cutting edge is shaped for efficient chopping and durability, making the Ekelund a capable working axe for those who want substantial felling performance in a more compact format. The head is hand-forged at Hults Bruk and hand-sharpened before being fitted to its American hickory handle – a traditional forest axe made for work, movement and years of use.

Product Highlight

Hults Bruk axe heads are forged from customized high-quality steel, with an alloy specifically engineered for this purpose, providing exceptional strength and performance. The steel is produced completely CO₂-neutral and is fully recyclable. Each head is hand-forged using the open-die free forging method. The axe head is then hardened and tempered for long-lasting durability. With a hardness of approximately 54–56 HRC on the Rockwell scale, these axe heads offer superior sharpness and edge retention. The cutting edge is hand-ground and polished to ensure precision and reliability with every swing. As one of the final steps in the forging press, each axe head is proudly stamped with the traditional Hults Bruk mark - a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.
