With a polished neck and a medium-weight head, the Ekelund hunting axe is ideal for simple forestry tasks as well as for skinning game with great precision. This makes the axe the perfect hunting companion and a valued gift for anyone interested in hunting. The name "classic hunting axe" comes from the squire Gunnar Ekelund, who, inspired by a trip to the USA between 1870 and 1875, advanced axe production on a larger scale. Like all axes, Ekelund's is hand-forged and made from Swedish quality steel. As part of the head forging process, the steel axe head is struck 40-60 times, increasing its density and extending its durability.
