Hults Bruk | Ekelund Hatchet

The Ekelund Hatchet (formerly known as Aneby) is a versatile tool designed for light forest work, processing kindling and firewood, or felling and bucking small trees. Its hand-forged blade delivers clean, powerful cuts, making it ideal for precision work in the field or at camp. Despite the solid 2 lb. head with its approximately 3.5” long cutting edge, the hatchet feels balanced and responsive, ensuring smooth one- or two-handed swings and dependable performance. The head features Hults Bruk’s Turpentine pattern, complete with a finger notch for precision carving and a rounded poll ideal for skinning tasks. A 20" hickory handle provides excellent grip, reach, and comfort for extended use. Crafted from high-quality Swedish steel at Hults Bruk, this hatchet combines traditional craftsmanship with durability built to last a lifetime. Its main applications are hunting, carving, and light chopping.
