The Arvika 5 Star Racing Axe features a 4.5 lb. racing-pattern head with an approximate 5.5” cutting edge, hand-forged from high-quality Swedish steel at the historic Hults Bruk forge. Built for speed and precision, this axe is purpose-designed for competitive chopping and racing events, delivering unmatched performance in the most demanding conditions. Its wide blade profile creates large V-shaped cuts, making it ideal for hard, knotty, or frozen wood. The Arvika is intended to be profiled and customized by the end-user—a practice recommended only for experienced users. The 32” curved American hickory handle provides strength and balance for powerful, controlled swings. Crafted with enduring Swedish craftsmanship, the Arvika 5 Star is the ultimate choice for serious competitors. Its main applications are racing, splitting, competition chopping, and heavy-duty felling.

The Story Behind the Name: The Arvika 5 Star is named after the renowned Arvika mill. Before this pattern was adopted by Hults Bruk, it had already earned a reputation for excellence – a symbol of a broader tradition now united with our own. By carrying this name, the axe represents the meeting of great histories and the continuous pursuit of the finest in Swedish axe craftsmanship.
