HULTAFORS Dvardala Hunting & Forest Axe bushcraft axe - Premium
The Perfect Tool for Forest Adventures. Dvardala is an excellent axe for hunting and working in the woods. It is a combination of several different types of axes, ideal for trips in the woods where a variety of challenges may arise.
Comfortable and Precise Design
The axe has the same head as the Hultafors Åby, but its shorter shaft - 440 mm (17 inches) long - makes it easier to carry, for example in a backpack. The shorter handle also makes it easier to work with the axe held close to the body.
Versatility and Durability
With its well-shaped hand cutout and partially straight blade with a flat and wide grind, the axe is suitable for precision work such as carving or building shelters. The edge is partially straight with flatter sides, allowing the axe to rest firmly on the workpiece while cutting. However, it is curved enough that the axe can be used for lighter forestry work, such as clearing trails or marking fire lines. The head is slightly thicker on the sides, providing excellent firewood splitting capabilities.
Tradition
Dvardala is a gift that all forest people will appreciate. The axe is handmade at Hults Bruk in keeping with a tradition that dates back to 1697.
Exceptional Materials and Finishes
The axe head weighs a nominal 0.7 kg and is made of Swedish carbon steel cO2-neutral. The 440 mm (17 inch) long wooden handle is made of made of American hickory impregnated with linseed oil. The head is protected by both a wooden wedge and a steel ring wedge. The partially straight edge has a Scandinavian premium cut, which is polished, razor-sharp and ready to use. The axe has a curved, narrow handle with a pronounced end knob for a more secure grip.
Elegant and Functional Vagina
The scabbard is made of swedish grain leather, which ensures the best possible durability. The leather is vegetable-tanned for the best possible durability, and the natural treatment means it will age beautifully with use. Axe is named after Dvardal, the old name of the forest area north of Hults Bruk. It is here that the Kolmården forest begins, and the Borgar mountain in Dvardala offers a fantastic view of the area, which is famous for its successful hunting of wildlife, especially wild boar.

Take good care of your axe and it will be a faithful companion for many years to come. The manufacturer takes pride in the craftsmanship and quality of its products, which is why it offers a lifetime warranty on the axe head.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
