Hults Bruk Kvillinge Splitting Axe

The Kvillinge Splitting Axe is a powerful, well-balanced tool designed for splitting medium to large logs. Its wedge-shaped, weighted head drives deep into wood, while the curved edge reduces bounce and helps turn logs without sticking. Despite its substantial weight, the axe feels controlled and responsive in hand. A slightly curved hickory handle provides excellent balance, strength, and swing control. Hand-forged from high-quality steel at Hults Bruk, this axe is inspired by classic Swedish splitting designs and built to last a lifetime with proper care. The head weighs 4.2 lb and is paired with a 32″ handle for optimal reach and leverage. Its main applications are splitting, clearing and chopping.

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. This axe has a polished head with convex grind edge; it is designed to be profiled and customized by the end-user. 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.
