Couldn't stop smiling during this. Your excitement about being there is joy to watch.

You look at what it costs HB to buy the raw steel , the energy it costs to run that factory, all the people that draw a Wage from working there. Even before a handle gets put on it and then to a retailer who gets there cut..... $150 for an axe in the right hands that can last a lifetime time is really not too much to ask ...quite cheap when you take it all in... Thank you HB for accommodating our two friends.

Not only that these things can and should be passed down generations as they make an amazing heirloom! imagine inheriting a chinese made shitty axe or going through your dads shed and finding one of these!!

it was a great trip jeff thx

I worked and retired from Chrysler in which 9 yrs. was working in the forging plant making axels and other front end parts using large steam hammers and forging presses , so anything having to do with this this process peaks my interest . I could just as easily have chosen forestry or tree work or something along those lines if given the opportunity . Loving your channel from Indiana

Fricken awesome!! Thank you Buckin for sharing.

Awesome Tour !!!!!! Thanks HB for your Hospitality shown to all of us here on the channel Eh. Special thanks to lenard and Knut for sharing your time and kindness ...🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

I have a hultafors bushcraft axe and it's absolute quality! It's small enough to fit in backpack and big enough for bushcraft skills aka chopping fire wood. Felling small tree's limming! If I had to by another axe. Hultafors all day LONG! Respect from U.K. 👍👊

Very cool that would be such an awesome place to see in person, the country is beautiful. I can't wait to see the Husqvarna factory! I have 3 huskies and a jonsered can't wait!

Nothing more. Beautiful than a man that loves his craft! The passion of it can't help but come out when you're in the midst of it!

Awesome video buckin' ! Was cool to see the factory.

Hi Buckin. What a wonderful video. You did a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Too bad we couldn't have seen more . What a beautiful place to work at. I mean the grounds were beautiful. The people were very gracious to show you around for half a day. Great people. Can't wait for the Husqavarna tour. Also thanks for Shawshank Tim for bringing you over to Sweden. You guys are having a blast.

As a Swedish person, this is really fun to watch.

Fantastic loved every second of it. Thanks for bringing us along.

Forging has always been really interesting to me!! Thank you fellas, for taking us along on the tour👍👌 I can't wait to get my hands on an arvika!!!! Love to you and the family❤️

Thank you, Billy, Tim & the whole Buckin army who pulled together to make this trip happen. And thanks for taking the time to visit HB during your trip, we're honored to have you both out. Safe travels

Sitting here giggling, chuckling and laughing to myself...it's sooo fun to see the excitement and interest you have for what you two, Lord Buckington and Shawshank, are experiencing on your way across Sweden. Really neat stuff to see how the axes are made, even though we can't see the whole process, which is understandable. Looking forward to your visit to Husqvarna!

Thanks Buckin. That looks like a cool place. So glad you got to take a tour. What a good bunch of people you had to show you around. Can’t wait to get my hands on an Arvika now for sure!!

Feels like we are with you and Shawshank! This is on my bucket list for sure. Thanks for sharing Buckin. Jim, you rock! Godspeed! Wilbur

Buckin, I am enjoying your trip to Sweden nearly as much as you are. A major portion of my ancestory is from Sweden and it has been interesting so many of the places you visited are places my ancestors resided in prior to migrating to the United States at the turn of the century. Have a great trip and adventure so we can follow along with you, it's fantastic! Nick, North West Farmer

So pumped about the Arvika making it to the states! Can't wait to purchase one of those bad boys!!

That was awesome my friend,What an amazing place to be in,from start to finish those people are so nice and to give the whole history was much appreciated,I'm so glad you and Tim were there that was awesome and it all started with the water just like the tree's do..Thank you so much for that..Take Care..

Thanks again to Tim (Shawshank) for the inspiration to call our pal Buckin' away from Nanaimo to share this experience with him and ourselves. What a gift. Thanks also going out to the folks at Hults Bruk for their hospitality. Knuth, Leonard, Sven and anyone else who was a part of the welcoming team. We so greatly appreciate the opportunity to see not only history, but history in the making. To Billy I say thanks for taking us on this video tour. Much like you have thought of yourself, I would never have had the opportunity to experience this stuff. I'm not jealous, but thankful. This is an awesome experience and it's not over yet! Be Blessed!

Wow. Just wow. Amazing. I will only buy and swing Hults Bruk and only Hults Bruk for the rest of my life and my children’s children.

Billy, You Tube friends that HB axe factory for my is mind blowing. Sweden great country. super video I enjoy every min .Meany thanks everyone doing this. Jacek UK

Enjoyed this video. Plan to visit Hults Bruk Axe Factory in about one week (mid June 2022). My great grandfather worked at the factory in the late 1880's into the early 1900's.

A lot of history thanks for sharing buckin

Probably one of the best videos yet Buckin. I got an HB Atran for my birthday last year and always thought it would be neat to see the factory. Love the HB product and the brand is the definition of quality and pride in their craft. I will probably get another HB axe or maul. Can’t have too many! Definitely a cool video!

You could not have done a finer job my friend!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!! I am soooo happy for you!!!!! Hey yall!!!!!

Great job. The metal "persuader" was my favorite part. I was sort of hoping they'd give you a box of heads and you'd be able to offer a Buckin Arvika sale. I was sort of expecting a little Buckin' versus Shawshank chopping/throwing contest at HB though. Heading over to check out the other videos now. Thank you for sharing your trip with us!

What a great announcement!! I'll be looking at the HB line of axes. Thanks for sharing!!

just saw this one ...been running Arvikas for 30 or so years ..not sure exactly how many years ..they were our go to shake axe and once you have used one and got used to them , well like Buckin ' says , a great all around axe . I still use them all the time for any Axe work i do . Firewood , the perfect weight to swinging ratio to me . thanks for sharing your trip through the factory with us.

Wow! Awesome video. Cant wait to re handle my old HB.

Now there were some folks with some real Old World class. I know now why the Swedish are such a proud and honorable people. Cheers to all

Billy. So I think you know what rodga means It was a industrial complex that supplied sail cloth and other materials including axes to the area. The funny thing is Rodga is also slang for a loving caring man that care and gives more of himself. So who does that sound like?? Aaa! Rodga is you in the flesh and blood boy it’s you. By pure definition A man that cares more for his fellow man than he does himself. Brother that’s got buckin’ written all over it. FYI I found you channel looking for powersaw info. Now I found a new channel for self empowerment. Brother you are the poster boy for self help and self empowerment. I love you and everything you do and I’m privileged to call you my brother

Looks like you were in Norrköping, glad you enjoyed the visit and come back soon.

Awesome tour

Great, just ordered a Arvika from big bear tools in Canada, thanks for the recommendation

Very cool, a lot of "hands on" with the making of these axes!!!! Definitely, don't see a whole lot of that anymore.....
