Hults Bruk Agdor 28 Montreal Felling Axe

Agdor axes made at Hults Bruk represent dependable, affordable craftsmanship from Sweden’s oldest axe maker. The Agdor range was inspired by traditional North American axe patterns of the late 19th century. Designed to meet the demands of customers all over the world, Agdor has come to stand out as the most widespread, enduring brand of the Hults Bruk axe range for nearly 100 years.  Each Agdor axe is expertly hand-forged from premium Swedish steel at the historic Hults Bruk and undergoes three stages of grinding before being mounted on American hickory handles. Accompanied by a premium leather sheath handcrafted by Axe and Awl Leatherworks in Waynesville, N.C. using traditional methods.  Useful for more than cutting down trees, the 2.5-pound Montreal pattern axe head features wide cheeks for splitting with a long blade that chops deep cuts, paired with a curved 28-inch American hickory handle. Painted Agdor blue and expertly hand forged from premium Swedish steel,  sharpened and ready to use out of the box. Accompanied by a leather sheath, handcrafted in Waynesville, N.C. using traditional methods.  The Agdor 28" Montreal Felling Axe is also popular in the growing sport of axe throwing. When an axe-throwing match ends in a tied score, the "big axe," or felling axe, is used to break the tie and determine the winner. The 28-inch Agdor meets league requirements for size, weight and materials, and also provides a durable, customizable axe for serious throwers looking to up their game. The cutting edge is approximately 4.25-inches in length.  Note: all Hults Bruk axes are hand forged, so there may be slight variations from axe to axe. Features The axe head is hand-forged and made from Swedish axe steel in a foundry that has been in operation since 1697. As part of the production process, the steel is struck multiple times thereby increasing its density and resulting in more durability of the axe. The head is constructed in such a way that there is a tempered zone designed to hold a very sharp edge even after many sharpening sessions.  Each axe comes with a traditional leather protective sheath.
