His many years at the forge represent something important in the history of Hults Bruk: the knowledge and experience built over a lifetime of work and shared between generations. By carrying the Wetterhall name, the axe honours Bo's remarkable years of service and the generations of people whose skills and commitment have shaped Hults Bruk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Wetterhall is a traditional double bit axe with its roots in the working axes once used by North American lumberjacks. With a cutting edge on each side of the head, the design provided two working edges in a single tool – an advantage during long days in the forest when keeping an axe sharp was essential. The symmetrical double bit head and straight American hickory handle give the Wetterhall a distinctive balance and character. Historically developed for forestry work, the pattern has since found a new role in competitive axe throwing, where double bit axes are used in specific competition disciplines. The Wetterhall is designed to meet the requirements of competitive double bit axe throwing and has been used by competitors at international events, including world championship competition. Outside competition, its traditional design also makes it an interesting example of an important chapter in axe and forestry history. The head is hand-forged at Hults Bruk and hand-sharpened before being fitted to its straight American hickory handle. A traditional working pattern with a modern competitive role, the Wetterhall connects the history of the double bit axe with the skills of today's axe users.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-1 flex-col items-center gap-1 text-center\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-heading text-[32px] leading-tight font-bold\"\u003e5 - Weight (lbs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-1 flex-col items-center gap-1 text-center\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-heading text-[32px] leading-tight font-bold\"\u003e3.75 - Head Weight (lbs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-1 flex-col items-center gap-1 text-center\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-heading text-[32px] leading-tight font-bold\"\u003e30\" - Length with Handle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hults Bruk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67954189205638,"sku":null,"price":485.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1992\/6415\/files\/Wetterhall_Bouble_Bit_AxeStand.jpg?v=1794608287","url":"https:\/\/classicoutdoors.ca\/products\/wetterhall-throwing-axe","provider":"classicoutdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
