Featuring a 2 lb hand-forged steel head and a 20-inch curved American hickory handle, this hatchet delivers precision, durability, and versatility for light forest work, camping, and hunting.

## Description

A fantastic camping or hunting hatchet that is designed to provide significant power and leverage in a small package. Ideal for light forest work, processing kindling and firewood, or felling and bucking small trees. Compact and light enough to go camping or carry long distances, the Aneby can be used comfortably with one hand or both hands. It features Hults Bruk’s Turpentine pattern with a finger notch for detailed carving and has a rounded poll for skinning. The cutting edge is approximately 3.5-inches in length. Note: all Hults Bruk axes are hand forged, so there may be slight variations from axe to axe.

Review: Old World Quality and Craftsmanship - I want to preface this with the fact that I bought 4 products for outdoor bushcraft: Hults-Bruk: Aneby Axe, Axe Handle Guard otherwise known as an "Overstrike Guard", Axe Holster, and Wax Canvas Tool Roll. You'll be seeing this same review copy & pasted on each of those items as the quality and craftmanship apply to everyone of them. The Hide and Drink Axe Handle Guard and Holster is made of quality leather that is cut and put together beautifully! All I had to do was use some Lexol leather conditioner on it when they arrived to preserve the leather to last. I also used it on the included Hults-Bruk axe sheath as it was a little dry as well. FYI Lexol is the conditioner they use on horse saddles to make them last forever. I've been using that stuff for many years on all my leather pieces and they have all stood the test of time and have never dried out or cracked so I suggest you not only buy whatever leather items you want from the Hide and Drink company, but also buy some Lexol conditioner so they last forever. On a side note Lexol does darken the leather a bit and takes off a light shade of color from dyed leather (even the browns and blacks), but in all honesty that's a good trade off to have leather that will last you forever. I'm into bushcraft and camping so I wanted a nice axe which you can see in the picture. I bought the Swedish Hults-Bruk 20 inch hand forged- Aneby. A great axe if anyone is reading this who is into bushcraft and in the market for a new axe. This axe is the perfect size and weight for both chopping wood and choking up on the blade to carve wood. At 20 inches long with a 2lbs head it's the most versatile axe I've owned. It came sharp and with a great edge! With that being said I obviously wanted hand guard to not only protect the the handle from chopping debris, but also something that I could hold when I choke up on the blade to carve or chisel wood. This hand guard does just that. It's got the perfect thickness and grip to hold onto and it's a solid piece of quality leather. The same goes for the Axe Holster. It fits perfect on a traditional belt, not a tool belt. It's the perfect thickness and quality with brass rivets holding the two pieces together. The Wax Canvas Tool Roll bag I'm using to put my smaller Japanese chisels, Scotch eyed auger, and other wood-working tools- Swedish Morakniv: wood carving knife and hook knife. The Wax Canvas Tool Roll bag is also phenomenal quality! It feels like it was made back in the 1800's when people cared about quality and craftsmanship. Another cool thing about this Guatemalan based company Hide and Drink is that every thing I bought came with a personally signed craftsman's card with the person's name hand written on it that made your unique piece. When someone takes the time to put their name on each individually hand crafted piece you know you're not only getting quality, but also accountability.
Review: Premium hunter’s axe - Really great camping axe. Very well made, head hung perfectly, very sharp. Small enough to be used one handed like a hatchet, big enough to use two handed like an axe. Poll is slightly beveled to use for skinning animals, but has a flat center so can be used to hammer wood stakes. The similar Gransfors Bruks axes are either smaller with rounder poll that can’t be used for hammering (hunters axe) or have a sharp edged poll (Small Forest Axe) and can’t be used for skinning and both cost $30-$50 more.

## Features

- The axe head is hand forged at the historic Hults Bruk, a forge that has been in operation since 1697.
- Each axe is made from high-quality Swedish axe steel, expertly tempered to hold a very sharp edge even after repeated sharpening.
- Blackened, hand-finished, razor-sharp with a polished edge.
- Curved American hickory handle, sanded, protected with linseed oil and engraved with the HB logo.
- Each axe comes with a premium leather sheath, shipped with a storage box and detailed user’s manual.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Whats the difference in this and the salen?**
A: Hi Christal,You ask a great question. Measurement wise, they have the same dimensions and weight. But the Aneby is a premium axe while the Salen is a standard axe. The premium axes have a forged head and so they are a bit stronger and stays sharper longer.Thanks, ImagineGear

**Q: How quickly will this rust? Is this axe suitable for camping in a precipitous environment at length? A week, for example?**
A: Like any other high carbon steel axes and knives, it will rust if not maintained properly especially with that kind of environment.

**Q: What type of steel is this?**
A: The axe head is hand-forged and made from Swedish axe steel in a foundry that has been in operation since 1697

**Q: Whats the difference between this and the Hulafors hunting axe?**
A: Virtually the same axe. The Hults Bruk I believe is the main brand name in America.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful axe, and strong steel.
*by O***E on February 8, 2021*

If you’re looking for a well made axe with a strong steel, than you’ve found the best bang for your buck. With this axe being 20 inches long it’s perfect for packing around, and is big enough to get through tough jobs. Being a hand made axe, few are bound to have faults in them, but in my opinion it’s well worth the stellar craftsmanship. Mine shipped with a perfect shaving-sharp grind, and beautiful wood grain in the handle. This axe is no joke, and I highly recommend it to those in need of an axe that will last a lifetime
