Product Description
S.A. Wetterling Axes - Broad Axe with American Hickory Wood Handles. Model: SAW190. 25 1/2" overall. 7 1/2"
axe head with 7 1/4" cutting edge. Leather blade cover. Wetterling Axes are hand forged from Swedish quality
steel alloyed from iron, carbon, silicon, manganese and vanadium. Hand forging uses presses that deliver many
blows, making the axe edges stronger than if they were drop forged. The special axe steel alloy makes high
quality hardening possible. After grinding, hardening and tempering, the Wetterling axes keep a Rockwell
hardness of 57-58. These are the main reasons the Wetterling axes hold a keen edge with good "sting" longer
than most axes. The handles are lathed from American hickory. The best stress capacity and resistance to
blows makes hickory the wood of choice for good axe handles. Read more
