Hults Bruk Kisa

Received it a couple of weeks ago and was able to try it out a couple of times.
It's a nice size, fairly light and razor sharp. Quality product.
Cut down a couple little trees in my yard without any problems. One was about 4 inches, the other about 6 inch. Tried splitting some wood and was great for that too. Should be a great little tool for camping.

Just got this axe, can already feel the craftsmanship

Just got this axe, can already feel the craftsmanship and skill that went into making this axe. Real leather sheath that has a welt in it to protect it from the rivets. Cannot wait to take it into the woods and test it out soon. Will update this review on the axe after i get a chance to take it into the woods.

Brilliantly Made Axe

Brilliantly made axe. On pair with my Gransfors Bruks axes. This has become my primary axe for bushcraft and Winter camping. I didn't have any of the handle fitment issues others have had.

One star off, for a poorly fitted handle.

Firstly; let me just say that I own many-various Hultafors (Hults Bruk) axes & knives. Every piece I've acquired & used, I have been very pleased with. I use 'em hard and maintain 'em well! Each and every piece takes an edge easily & holds it's well. Even their patinas exceed optimistic expectations!

So; if you're one of those people who think that Gransfors Bruk is the end-all / be-all in axe & tool craft, you owe it to yourself to take the measure of a Hultafors (Hults Bruk) axe. I'm not saying that Gransfors Bruk are junk! They certainly aren't! But their greatest strengths, they owe to this axe maker.

See; this company designed, built and perfected the axe which 'inspired' the designs of both Gransfors and Wetterlings. In fact; Hultafors of Sweden is one of, if not the oldest tool making companies still in operation, in the world!..

In short; they've been building a Hel of a nice axe, for a Hel of a long time! ^_~

So; with all that said, you'd probably expect me to have nothing but praise for this specific axe! Right..?

Well; you'd be HALF right!

The head itself is flawless. As has been every Hultafors (Hults Bruk) axe head I've ever seen. Then there's the handle... The fitting of this handle proves that sometimes even best tool makers miss the mark of perfection, on occasion...

Now; in my opinion, the handle of any headed tool should be regarded as temporary and inevitably doomed. So the fact that it isn't well fitted doesn't bother me nearly as much as it would bother most! Though; I have no doubt that an 'armchair woodsman' would return this item for either a refund or a replacement, and probably leave a negative review. I'm more of the opinion that I'm paying for an incredible axe head that just happens to come with a free handle.
