Hand forged of Swedish carbon alloy steel using multi-ton presses to produce an exceptionally strong, durable edge. Ground, hardened and tempered by master blacksmiths to keep a Rockwell hardness of 56-58. Hand fitted with hardwood wedges and steel rings to handles of shock-resistant American heartwood hickory. Every Wetterlings axe has in this way been hand-made and eye-measured with the greatest care since 1880.

The Swedish Felling Axe is a large, powerful tool – the workhorse of the forest. Suitable for felling trees and bucking large logs. It features the traditional slim profile of a cutting tool designed for deep penetration and slicing through wood fibers. The axe weighs 4-1/5 lb. with a 32” curved hickory handle. 7-1/2” Axe head with a 3-3/4” cutting edge. With a magnetic leather edge sheath.

The Limbing Axe is the “Lumberjack’s Sweetheart”. It features a 25-1/2” curved hickory handle, and a 6-1/2” axe head with a 3-1/2” slightly curved cutting edge. It weighs 3-1/5 lb. Whether suspended aloft in a harness, or solidly on the ground, there is no better axe for “snedding” – the quick, efficient removal of branches from trees. Includes lanyard hole and leather blade guard.

Not worth it
Reviewed By:  Andrew (North Attleborough, MA) 
I bought my 2nd Wetterlings Swedish Felling Axe here at Garret Wade. The head was loose upon arrival and ultimately led to the destruction of the axe after felling just 1 tree. The shaft split from the axe head down to the base of the handle after felling just 1 tree. Needless to say, get a Fiskar's Chopping Axe, it won't break, its easier to sharpen, and it chops more effectively...and it cost maybe 25 dollars.

Axe broke 1 use
Reviewed By:  Andrew (North Attleborough, MA) 
Axe came defective with a loose head. I expected quality and decided that if Garret Wade is going to send me an axe like this, then I'm just going to go ahead and use it and see what it's made out of. Sure enough, it broke after 1 use of carefully felling a medium sized hardwood tree. The head caused the shaft to split down the middle due to the improper fixing of the head. Very disappointed and hope to get a new axe.
