Hults Bruk Selects Next Generation of Brand Ambassadors

Three individuals chosen to represent the historic Hults Bruk brand of legendary Swedish axes

Åby, Sweden – (Sept. 16, 2016) – Hults Bruk, the world’s oldest active axe manufacturer, is pleased to welcome three new brand ambassadors to its team of outdoor and axe enthusiasts. The #AxeHeads are tasked with maintaining the brand’s 300-year-old tradition by sharing their own experiences using Hults Bruk’s legendary Swedish steel axes.

Ambassadors receive a Hults Bruk axe to test and review each quarter of the year, plus additional Hults Bruk swag and bragging rights. Individuals were selected based on their knowledge and expertise using axes for a variety of applications, ranging from woodcraft and firecraft to wilderness exploration, plus their ability to connect with other enthusiasts through social media.

“We received over 90 applications and were overwhelmed by the extraordinary talent out there and enthusiasm for the brand,” says Matt Huff from Sport Hansa, Hults Bruk’s U.S. importer and distributor. “Narrowing it down to only three individuals proved a daunting task, but we look forward to launching the program and expanding in years to come.”

Please join us in welcoming the 2016 Hults Bruk AxeHeads:

• Colton Chapman is a full time bicycle mechanic/cyclist and an aspiring leatherworker. The axe is his favorite tool whether hiking or camping, and he enjoys creating things for other outdoorsman, especially if its axe related!
• Carl Pawlowski’s passion for the outdoors stems from a childhood spent at a Muskoka summer camp canoeing, swimming, hiking and practicing survival skills. Carl’s other passion is photography, which luckily goes hand in hand with adventure.
