Wetterlings American Forest Axe - Handforged Model: 124 Overall Length: 81 cm Handmade in Sweden A Wetterlings is not only an axe - its a friend for life. About Wetterlings: For over 100 years Wetterlings have made axes. Wetterlings axes are tools of the highest quality in terms of durability and performance. All Wetterlings Axes are handforged from Swedish Quality Steel. Hand Forging uses presses that deliver many blows, making an axe stronger than if they were drop forged. A special Axe alloy used by Wetterlings makes high quality hardening possible. After grinding, hardening and tempering the Wetterlings Axes keep a Rockwell Hardness of 57 - 58. These are the main reasons why Wetterlin Axes hold a keen edge with good sting longer than most axes. The Handles are lathed from American Hickory, the best choice for good Axe Handles. Today 10 blacksmiths proudly continue the tradition of producing world class axes. This means that every axe that leaves the factory in Sweden has its own unique character and bears its own distinguishing mark.
