The Ekelund is a smaller felling axe with the same head as Qvarfot, but the handle is shorter which makes is more mobile and easier to carry. The axe is named after Gunnar Ekelund, the former owner of Hults Bruk who decided to produce axes in a modern way at a larger scale in 1870–75. Like all our axes, the Ekelund is hand forged and made

Very good quality ax. Handle, as usual, needs a light scraping or sanding to remove that weird coat of varnish or polyurethane or whatever they put on there. Won't order again, because this thing seems made to outlast me. I'll probably order a larger one in the future though. Overall quite happy with my purchase.
