The Hultafors Hults Bruk Wetterhall Throwing Axe benefits from the possibility of always having a sharp axe around. While using one edge for rough work, they could be more careful with the other. Originally used by lumberjacks, today it is primarily employed in throwing competitions among enthusiasts. The handle is made from American hickory and treated with linseed oil for increased durability. Hand forged from Swedish quality steel, the head is struck 40–60 times to increase density and durability. The axe is supplied sharpened, polished and ready to use, in a leather axe sheath. This axe has been named after Hults Bruk enthusiast Bo Wetterhall, the person who has served at Hults Bruk longer than anyone else.
