Swing Hard, Split Clean

With its wider wedge design, the Hult Splitting Axe is optimised to drive wood apart, not just cut through it. That means less effort, fewer swings, and faster firewood prep. The 75cm handle gives you excellent leverage and shock absorption, so you can keep going without wearing yourself out.

Tradition Forged into Every Axe

The Hult Splitting Axe takes its name from Hults Bruk, the historic forge where it’s still made today, dating back over 300 years. Each axe is individually hand-forged, honed, and tested to give you a tool that doesn’t just work—it lasts. As you split more timber, the steel will bear your marks and the handle will shape to your swing. This is a tool that grows with you.

If you want a splitting axe that delivers clean breaks, rugged durability, and serious power - this is the one. Made to perform. Built to last.
