Hultafors Hultån Hatchet – Your All-Purpose Camp Axe

Looking for that one tool that does it all—clearing trails, making firewood, carving shelter pegs, or even dressing game? The Hultafors Hultån Hatchet is your versatile, all-rounder bush companion. Small enough to carry with ease, yet tough enough to take on real work, this is the kind of axe you’ll reach for again and again.

Hand-forged at the historic Hults Bruk forge in Sweden - operating since 1697 - each hatchet carries the legacy of centuries-old craftsmanship, built to last and made to be used.

Why the Hultån Stands Out

Hand-forged Swedish steel head – made for durability, edge retention, and repeated hard use
Compact 37.5 cm handle length – ideal for one-handed work, belt carry, or pack storage
Curved American hickory handle – ergonomic, oil-treated for comfort and grip
Convex grind – sharpened and polished, ready to use straight away
Comes with a leather sheath – to protect both the blade and your gear

The Perfect Bushcraft and Hiking Hatchet

Weighing in at just 805g, the Hultån Hatchet is light enough to take on long treks, but still powerful enough for kindling, carving, and general camp chores. Whether you're off on a multi-day bushwalk, heading to the high country, or prepping your campfire at dusk, this is the axe you want by your side.

History in Every Swing

Named after Lake Hultån, located near the forge where it’s made, this hatchet embodies rugged simplicity and refined performance. Over time, the wood will darken, the steel will bear your marks, and it’ll become uniquely yours - a tool that carries not just tradition, but your journey.

If you’re looking for a compact, capable hatchet you can trust for every outdoor adventure, the Hultafors Hultån is the one to carry.
