These are precision instruments for carpentry and other woodwork projects . The cutting edge of the carpenter’s axe has a straight edge used for whittling and carving. The straight handle is of prime American hickory, and the head of the axe is constructed so that the hand gets as close as possible to the cutting edge for maximum control.The Swedish broad axe with its long, rounded cutting edge is used mainly for hewing logs. Supplied with a protective sheath of tanned leather.

For over 100 years Wetterlings have been making axes.Today 10 blacksmiths proudly continue the tradition of producing world class axes. This means that not one axe is the same as the other and every axe that leaves the factory in Sweden has its own unique character and bears its own distinguishing mark. A hand forged Wetterlings has a hardness of 58-59 degee Rockwell. Each axe is slowly forged, a methodical task that demands time and patience and is entirely dependant upon the skill of the blacksmith. After being hammered for a long period of time the steel becomes extremely strong and can be ground to a high level of sharpness. Wetterlings turn the axe handles using brown heartwood of American hickory. This wood has the impact resistance and strength expected of an axe handle. If you want the world's finest hand made axe in terms of durability and performance buy a Wetterlings.
