Hults Bruk – Agdor Yankee Pattern – Pre 1970s

My father and uncle (his brother in-law) used to trap and hunt together. This was my uncle’s Hults Bruk axe he regularly used. After my uncle died my father and I found it while cleaning out his shed. I have made it functional, but have left it’s history showing. It’s very sharp, and feels great in the hand. Cleaned (light sanding), drilled a hole (to attach a new lanyard), linseed oiled and grip tape wrapped the hickory handle (pretty sure my uncle Bob replaced the original with this many years ago). Sealed the handle by filling the slight recess in the eye with JB Weld epoxy. Bought a new sheave and mink oiled it. Ready for many more years as my woodsman’s axe. Its stamped 0,8 1 3/4 on the cheek opposite the maker’s stamp. I’m fairly sure its an Agdor, ’70s perhaps?
