Hults Bruk – 3lb. Agdor Yankee Pattern – Pre 1988
I was given this axe many years ago from my father in law. I was delighted to find out that this is not a cheap hardware store axe. After some research of the HB website, i fell in love with this axe. Can you tell me more about this? I think its made in the 1970’s. Can I also buy a direct fit replacement handle for it? The handle measures about 30 inches

Thanks for sharing, you are correct this axe looks like it was made around the early 1970s. The blue paint puts it in the Agdor line, the HB cold stamp means it was made after 1950s and before 1988. It looks like a Yankee or Maine pattern. You can find some info on sizing a new handle here: http://hultsbruk1697.se/blog/2017/01/20/how-to-replace-a-hults-bruk-axe-handle/
