The axe is hand-forged from Swedish axe steel at Hults Bruk, according to tradition since 1697. The steel is worked with 40-60 strokes to increase its density and the durability of the axe. Åby is named after the community near Hults Bruk where many workers lived in the 1900s. Take care of your axe and it will be a faithful friend for many years. Hultafors is so proud of the quality that they give a lifetime guarantee on the axe head.
