SA Wetterlings Axe are a superbly made axe with a hand made head.

The Small Forest Hunting Axe is 12 1/2" overall with a  5 1/4" axe head with 2 3/4" cutting edge. It weighs a total of 550g.

Hand forged from Swedish quality steel alloyed from iron, carbon, silicon, manganese and vanadium. Hand forging uses presses that deliver many blows, making the axe edges stronger than if they were drop forged.

The special axe steel alloy makes high quality hardening possible. After grinding, hardening and tempering, the Wetterling axes keep a Rockwell hardness of 57-58. These are the main reasons the Wetterling axes hold a keen edge with good "sting" longer than most axes.

The handles are lathed from American hickory. The best stress capacity and resistance to blows make hickory the wood of choice for good axe handles.

A finely-balanced and functional hunting axe. The cutting edge is convex and the bevel face slightly widened to chop or split firewood. These axes have a polished poll so that they can be used as a hammer or to skin animals.

Hunting axes are supplied with a protective sheath of tanned leather with a belt loop.
