In the old idyllic Hult, since generations known for their good axes, which is nestled on the slopes of the fair Kolmården we will now start our tour through all of Holmen's businesses.
And we get to know the Hult bruk only after several outlooks over the beautiful Ågelsjön, down at the south western end of the lake the 250-year-old mill is located, it was built in 1697 by Jacob Reenstierna.
The mill is located at the Ågelsjön shore, since the stone age have been able to produce good axes at this place, it has been found around the 200 stone axes and shards from production. In the date of today Hults axes of premium Swedish steel acclaimed reputation worldwide.
Two and a half centuries of hardware thus lies behind axe forging in Hults bruk.
The visitor who wander through workshops, smithy and grindery cannot help but notice how well the committal traditions managed by the now working in the fine old craftsmanship.
Here we see one Hult axe in its first conception stage, it is the steel billet that is cut. After the steel billet has been warmed up in the oil furnace the hole is punched out and pressed out in one of the three axe press machines. In the forging hammer the axes get their final shape. Here in the forging department we meet the veteran Ernst Stålberg, what he does not know about the forging know with certainty no other either.
From the forging department the axes will go to the grinding department, where they finish ground in different stages. Riding on their spring seats puts an axe against the spinning stones and discs and their labor melody fills the old workshop with their force and penetrating tones.
There are many different control steps all Hults axes must pass, but when they had their label when they are also ready to perish over the whole earth his good name and reputation.In tropical forests and at northern pines have axes from Hults in Östergötlands been swung.
