Wetterlings axes are tools of the highest quality in terms of durability and performance. A Wetterlings is not only an axe - its a friend for life. About Wetterlings: All Wetterling Axes are handforged from Swedish Quality Steel alloyed from iron, carbon, silicon, manganese and vanadium. Hand Forging uses presses that deliver many blows, making an axe stronger than if they were drop forged. The special axe alloy used by Wetterling 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 why Wetterling axes hold a keen edge with good sting longer than most axes. The handles are lathed from Americaon Hickory. The best stress capacity and resistance to blows make hickory the wood of choice for good axe handles. Axe Description: Wetterlings Camping Axes are finely-balanced and functional Axes. The Cutting Edge is convex and the bevel face slightly widened to chop or split Firewood.
