Ågelsjön takes its name from Lake Ågelsjön, located in the forests near Hults Bruk and known for its dramatic landscape and steep cliffs along the eastern shore. The lake also has an important connection to the history of the forge. Ågelsjön served as a water reservoir in the system that supplied Hultån, helping provide the flowing water needed to power the waterwheels and machinery at Hults Bruk. For generations, this water was an important source of energy for production at the forge, connecting the surrounding landscape directly to the work carried out in Hult. By carrying the name Ågelsjön, our smallest hatchet connects today's Hults Bruk range to one of the natural resources that helped make centuries of forging in Hult possible.
The Ågelsjön is the smallest hatchet in the Hults Bruk range, designed for those who want a capable axe in the most compact format possible. Easy to carry in a backpack, it is a natural companion for hiking, camping and time spent outdoors. The short American hickory handle provides excellent control for one-handed use and allows you to work close to the material. This makes the Ågelsjön particularly well suited to preparing kindling, light chopping, carving and other smaller tasks around camp. Its compact size makes it easy to bring along when space and weight matter, without giving up the feel and function of a traditional forged axe. Balanced and responsive in hand, it is designed for controlled work rather than heavy chopping. The head is hand-forged at Hults Bruk and hand-sharpened before being fitted to its American hickory handle. Small, precise and easy to carry, the Ågelsjön is a genuine outdoor axe reduced to the essentials.
Product highlight
Hults Bruk axe heads are forged from customized high-quality steel, with an alloy specifically engineered for this purpose, providing exceptional strength and performance. The steel is produced completely CO₂-neutral and is fully recyclable. Each head is hand-forged using the open-die free forging method. The axe head is then hardened and tempered for long-lasting durability. With a hardness of approximately 54–56 HRC on the Rockwell scale, these axe heads offer superior sharpness and edge retention. The cutting edge is hand-ground and polished to ensure precision and reliability with every swing. As one of the final steps in the forging press, each axe head is proudly stamped with the traditional Hults Bruk mark - a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.
Disclaimer: As each Hults Bruk axe is hand forged, minor variations in weight, dimensions, and finish may occur.
Every axe comes with a custom-fit sheath for safe storage and transport.
