These powerful axes and maul are made for splitting logs and large chunks of wood. Splitting axes and mauls are meant to split the log along the grain, not cut it. Therefore the cutting edge is shaped at a more aggressive, more obtuse angle than that of a cutting axe and the bit is ridged also. This makes splitting the wood fibres easier and ensures the axe does not become stuck in the wood. Designed for large splitting tasks, the splitting maul has a hardened and tempered poll that can be used to knock in a splitting wedge when working with large or very long logs and trunks. Each axe or maul head is mounted on a solid American hickory shaft giving the entire tool and innate strength and durability. All axes are supplied with a protective sheath of tanned leather. ©

For over 100 years Wetterlings have been making axes.Today 10 blacksmiths proudly continue the tradition of producing world class axes. This means that not one axe is the same as the other and every axe that leaves the factory in Sweden has its own unique character and bears its own distinguishing mark. A hand forged Wetterlings has a hardness of 58-59 degee Rockwell. Each axe is slowly forged, a methodical task that demands time and patience and is entirely dependent upon the skill of the blacksmith. After being hammered for a long period of time the steel becomes extremely strong and can be ground to a high level of sharpness. Wetterlings turn the axe handles using brown heartwood of American hickory. This wood has the impact resistance and strength expected of an axe handle. If you want the world's finest hand made axe in terms of durability and performance buy a Wetterlings.
