Husqvarna hatchet

[dizrack420]

Just got my husqvarna hatchet. It has a 1.5 pound head and a 15" hickory handle. Here's a couple pic's, I put a new hair popping edge on it. I plan on polishing all the belt sander lines out too.

Moved it for you!

dizrack, the best way to ask for a move is to hit Report Post and tell us what you need. That's the small triangle icon in the lower left corner of your post. Telling us in the thread means we'll probably never see it -- one of the other members reported it for you.

Nice. Been meaning to pick one up as well as one of their axes. Great values.

So many times I have thought about pulling the trigger on one of these. Kind of got into restoring vintage axes instead. Sure do like the look of this axe.

Those are a great value.

Hey guys , i recently purchased a husqvarna axe 68 cm forest axe... i felt really bad when i saw that there was no stamp of any kind on the blade , only on the handle ( husqvarna) the leather sheath is kinda orange color and is stamped "husqvarna " as well.... i am wondering if there is a possibility to be a fake... it cost me around 29 euros , from the looks of it , i can see it is definitely hand forged the quality seems to be nice, but NO stamps on the blade , so is it a fake? or its just the new "european" mass production model , i live in Greece. (the reason i suspect this , is because i heard that husqvarna company has changed the manufacturing company ... from weterllings to another ... so maybe they changed again to a cheaper factory that doesn't use stamps) i am kinda worried about this, if its a fake i am going to rape the shop owner please reply ,its a matter of sexual integrity . CAN SOMEONE DELETE THIS MSG? i posted on the wrong thread , sorry !

Husqvarna changed from wetterlings to hults bruks (hultafors?), the one I have is from hults bruks. I believe the wetterlings had a leather sheath with a strap that went around the handle and possibly a better grind. The quality on mine is good but they are cheaper axes because less time is spent on the grinding and edge. Still I love this hatchet and with a little elbow grease it should be every bit as good as a wetterlings. The steal take a wicked edge, it sharper with 1200 grit than my fiskars x7 was with 2000 grit thats for sure.
