Julia Kalthoff specializes in making carving axes in Stockholm, Sweden under the moniker Kalthoff Axes. As a young girl she grew up amidst textile crafts but was always curious about metal… “How did it work? How could you transform it from one state to another?” By a series of coincidences she worked at an axe making workshop and then managed Wetterlings Axe Manufacturing business. All this experience taught her a lot about the small but very important details that make up an excellent axe. After taking a break from the heavy responsibilities of her youth, she decided to create her own business. Her love of axes and green woodworking has opened her eyes to how she can help others to create a relationship with woodcrafts and the forest, with a Kalthoff axe in hand.
