About Wetterlings:We have a strong passion for axes, for making them, using them and knowing everything about them.
At our factory in Storvik, we make very good axes. The great knowledge within these walls is inherited from generations of axe forging, why Wetterlings are proud to keep the tradition, knowledge of making high quality axes, alive.
Every axe is completely unique, and made to last a lifetime. We care about and are interested to know our axe users. You inspire us to become even better, and to continue developing finish, function, quality and beauty of the axes.
Wetterlings love axes!
To slowly hand forge an axe is a true hand craft. Wetterlings value
the quality of this procedure and allows the work to take it's time, to
perform the absolutely best result possible. It takes decades to learn
the craft to perfection.
It starts with first-rate Swedish carbon steel being slowly forged by
the skilled Wetterlings blacksmiths. Our forging hammers have been used
every day since 1917 and it is still the preferred method to reach the
best result. No afterwork is needed to correct mistakes or adjust the
shape, and we proudly leave small hammer marks that proves it is hand
forged. It is free from paint and grinding, carefully hardened,
sharpened by hand and polished until it shines.
We turn the Wetterlings handles from American Hickory in our wood
workshop. The wood is hard with long fibers, good stress capacity and
high impact-resistance. Premium grade hickory, oiled, lightly waxed
handles is securely fitted into the axe eye with traditional wooden
wedge, glue and metal wedge.
