  • An Impressive Axe.... So Long As You Are Careful About Which Model You Choose
Style: 19" Wooden Splitting Axe, Small
Before getting into the review, I want to explain why I chose this particular model over another that was more suitable for my needs. If you read the other reviews, you probably saw the critical ones mostly dealt with the axe head breaking (no bueno). While comparing the relevant reviews, I noticed they all had something in common: the Husqvarna logo was stamped onto the head forward of the shaft. Most of those reviewers believed the stamp created a weak point in the metal, which I agreed with, and caused the head to snap. The original model I wanted, the Husqvarna 576926301 13" Wooden HatchetHusqvarna 576926301 13" Wooden Hatchet , had the same problem. After reviewing the product pictures and consulting a Husqvarna rep, I confirmed that this model, the Husqvarna 19" Wooden Splitting Axe, had the logo stamped behind the shaft. This model does indeed split wood better than the first model I wanted, but it is also larger and heavier. However, the axe head is still looking great after a week of heavy use so I feel good about my choice. If the head breaks off, I will definitely update the review. With that out of the way, let's get into what I think about this axe (and not the significant negatives of other models). **The Good** 1. Wood-Splitting Ability: I've never had an axe with the head shaped specifically for splitting small pieces of wood, so I was very impressed with its performance. The week that I have had the axe so far included a few days of heavy use around the yard and a 3 day winter backpacking trip where it truly made the difference between a cold time and big fires that lasted all night long. After the very first trip, I have already decided the increased performance over a smaller hand axe is worth the extra pound and change of weight. 2. Good Shaft (all innuendo is unintentional,skip to #3 if it becomes too much): It's not hard to find a great shaft that is still affordable. However, I was still pleased with the stock one provided by Husqvarna. It's pretty smooth and feels natural in the hand, without feeling like it has been sanded into oblivion. The shape lets you choke up close to the head and slide to a better grip as you swing. The wedge at the top of the head was cut pretty flush with the shaft and looks way better than when I do it myself. I'm also liking the "Husqvarna" in big letters on one side. But I'm not a fan of the other side, which I will explain in "The Bad" section. 3. Stylish and Functional Sheath: I knew from the product decision that it came with a leather sheath, but was not able to see any pictures before purchasing the axe (I included one so you can judge for yourself if it's nice). I bought this expecting to replace the sheath as soon as I could measure the head, but this might be the first "stock" sheath I actually like. 4. Looks Good and Feels Good: I'm the kind of person that chooses form over function every time, but I always at least look a little for something that does both. This axe definitely checks both boxes. So far, it has worked out great and still looks pretty good for something as simple as an axe. One advantage this model has over smaller axes is actually its size. When your buddies finish chopping and bury their dinky little hand axes in the base, you can casually walk over and slam this bad boy right next to them. Then you give them a manly stare and nothing really needs to be said, but they just know your "axe" is bigger. You can't really put a price on that. **The Bad** 1. The "Safety" Notice: As stated previously, I only like one side of the shaft. The reason is that the reverse side has a diagram warning you against hitting the back of the axe head with another object (see attached picture). It's inked on there pretty well and I haven't been able to fade it even a little. It's not a huge deal since I know I'll have to replace the shaft eventually, but come on. Really? 2. Cheap Loop: The bottom of the shaft has a loop that makes it easy to hang the axe. I'm not really sure what the intent was. It seems too rugged just for attaching the product information tags, but too thin for its expected use. After a little over a week, I've already noticed it fraying a little bit. I wished they used a stronger material for this; maybe the sheath ate up all of Husqvarna's leather stash. 3. Bad Logo Placement (on other models): I know I said I wouldn't talk about the negatives of other models, but Hasqvarna's poor logo placement is still bugging me a little. After experiencing the performance of a proper splitting axe, I would still pick this model over the 13" version if given the choice again. But that issue and the lack of customer support experienced by other reviewers almost made me go with a competing brand. Even with all of the features I like about this axe, of which there are plenty, the only reason I went with this model is because it does not share the problems plaguing the others (so far). All in all, I am very pleased with my choice so far. I was worried about the increased size and weight for winter backpacking (my main intended use), but haven't noticed a huge difference. The increased performance of the wood splitting specific head is enough that I use it at home for smaller logs, even though I have a much larger axe that will chop anything. If Husqvarna gets their act together and starts stamping their logo in a better place, I'm sure customer confidence will return for the other models. But for now, I only recommend this one specifically. ... show more

  • Great Swedish axe for the price
Style: 26" Wooden Multi-Purpose Axe
It’s not a Granfors Bruk or hults bruk, but apparently hultafors makes the head and Husqvarna finishes and fits it to handle. For the price it’s a great axe. Came pretty sharp but I honed it a little bit more to give it a really sharp edge. Good all around axe; nice to take out into the woods. Chops and splits well, but don’t expect it to be as good as a maul for splitting as it’s not as heavy, although it can split most oak rounds with ease. It’s a good “do everything” kind of axe. ... show more

  • Great Axe at any cost
Style: 26" Wooden Multi-Purpose Axe
I own several axes made by some of Europe's top makers (Gransfors Bruk, Wetterlings) and this ax is as good as any at about half the cost. Forged for Husqvarna by Hults Bruk and made from the finest Swedish axe steel and equipped with a quality hickory wood handle, It will do any job required of an axe. I usually sharpen the edge and reprofile it before I use mine but the factory edge will work. You can certainly pay more but for the money this is a good one. ... show more

  • Expect to refinish the handle
Style: 13" Wooden Hatchet
The wood on the handle was not finished well and very rough. I had to sand the whole thing and recoat with multiple coats of linseed oil. Of course the sanding took off the Husqvarna logo. Also, the photo has the edge polished about an inch back from the edge. Mine does not. It's sharpened, but only back about 1/4". All of this does make me wonder if it's a real Husqvarna or a knockoff. The stamp in the steel is very deep though, and well done. However, it's in a slightly different place than the photo. Handle grain is off about 30 degrees from perfect. It's acceptable, but not ideal. I should have found a local store where I could pick through them and find a perfect grain orientation. ... show more

  • Excellent wooden handle, hand-forged hatchet for $42.
Here's is exactly what I received: Specifications: Overall length is 15-inches with a 1/4-inch of wood sticking out beyond the axe head. The head (eye length) is 2-1/8-inches, so this leaves 12-5/8-inches below the axe head to the end of the handle. From the cutting edge to the poll/butt (hammer end) the length is 5-7/8-inches. The widest part of the head (located in center of the eye/where handle goes through head) is 1-1/16-inches. Total weight with sheath is 2-lbs 4.5-ounces, and sheath weighs 1-ounce. The handle width where you expect to grip is 1-3/8-inches along the Husqvarna label side and 7/8" on the thinner side (90-degrees to the Husqvarna label axis). Construction: Exactly as described with hickory handle, Husqvarna label printed on handle (as pictured vs. burnt into the wood) and "HAND FORGED MADE IN SWEDEN" with trademark stamped into head. It looks great and feels solid. The wedge and pinning of the head was a bit off to one side, but I don't care. It did slightly damage the appearance on the one side--splitting the wood a bit as it got too close to the edge, but I don't care providing the head stays firmly attached and doesn't wobble. At this point the head is solidly attached with zero slop. The edge came pretty dull and needs love, but then again, you're going to spend the next several days looking at it and caressing it without purpose anyway! So with a medium and fine stone and proper sharpening, this will cut paper like the best of hatchets. Finish: The wood came fairly smooth with a thin (urethane?) coating. I sanded it the entire handle with 600-grit sandpaper and then applied boiled linseed oil. Not only does linseed oil protect the wood, but it's also good for protecting the iron from rusting as well. Of course after all this, the grip was smooth and bit slick (think rain, sweat...and dropping it from 50+ feet up), so I used some grip adhesive on the grip area prior to setting out to fell trees with a chainsaw. As for the leather edge guard, it's made of thick, darker brown leather (appears very durable) and stays perfectly in place with one snap. It has four heavy duty rivets on the leading edge. Of course this is NOT a sheath for mounting to a belt. It's simply an edge guard for use in storage. If you want a quick and dirty axe holder, buy a hammer holder (and belt, if necessary) from Amazon or a local home improvement store. They're cheap. No axemen cover their axe head when out in the field, but we do maintain the tool--especially the cutting edge--which means proper sharpening and covering while in storage including keeping all the iron thinly oiled to prevent rust. Intended use: When felling trees, I use this axe to delimb (when climbing) and to pound in felling wedges when cutting. It's manly enough to slam wedges fast and hang conveniently from my belt, yet light and small enough not get in the way of business. Mostly it stays put in the tool holder on my belt until needed. It's absolutely perfect for these tasks. Now, it being a hatchet, I'll throw it in the truck for camping, but I'd suggest a bigger axe for bucking which frankly should be left to a chainsaw (or bow saw if you're in manual mode). I'd try Husqvarna's 20" splitter axe if you plan on manually splitting logs. Then again, I prefer a good old sledge hammer and wedge if I'm in manual mode myself (sans hydraulic splitter). The handle does have printing to the effect it's not intended to be pounded as a wedge nor for hammering other steel like splitting wedges. Primarily, it's designed to chop (cut into) wood and pound plastic wedges, so again if you plan on splitting logs manually, try Husqvarna's 20" splitting axe that's designed to do this. Of course, with safety glasses and in a pinch, I'd use this hatchet to split a large log if it's all I had; however, I wouldn't fault the company/axe if I destroyed it using it for unintended purposes. Conclusion: For $41.99 (+ free Prime shipping), it's a great hatchet. As for longevity, I'm confident it's good kit, but we'll have to wait and see how long it lasts. Already it performs very well for me and the tasks assigned to it. Comparatively, at a local store selling premium Granfors Bruks, the hatchet I shop-compared was $190. Nice looking but I couldn't justify the price difference for my intended use. Ultimately, this $42 Husqvarna is all this feller needs which leaves roughly $150 towards another $1,000+ chainsaw that cuts like magic and makes traditional felling/bucking look prehistoric. ... show more
