Hults Bruk Kvillinge Splitting Axe - 4.2 lb head, 32” handle (840790)

Details

The Kvillinge is a powerful splitting axe developed for medium to large logs and demanding work at the woodpile. Its substantial head and long handle combine weight, leverage and momentum to deliver strong splitting force through the wood. The head has a pronounced wedge-shaped profile designed to push the wood fibres apart efficiently once the edge enters the log. A slightly curved cutting edge provides a firm initial bite and helps reduce bounce, while the shape of the head helps prevent the axe from becoming unnecessarily stuck in the wood. Despite its power, the Kvillinge is designed to feel balanced and controlled through the swing. The long American hickory handle provides the reach, leverage and stability needed for effective two-handed splitting, particularly when working with larger rounds. The head is hand-forged at Hults Bruk and hand-sharpened before being fitted to its American hickory handle. Powerful, balanced and purpose-built for splitting, the Kvillinge is made for turning larger logs into firewood efficiently.

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.

Disclaimer: As each Hults Bruk axe is hand forged, minor variations in weight, dimensions, and finish may occur.
