Mitsutomo splitting axe

Mitsutomo is a private label brand primarily owned and distributed by the Danish retail group Harald Nyborg. While the name 'Mitsutomo' has a Japanese linguistic style, the brand is actually a Danish creation designed to offer tools and equipment at competitive price points.

Historically, the brand was developed to serve as an in-house hardware and tool label for Harald Nyborg's expansive catalog of home improvement products. Manufacturing for Mitsutomo products, including axes and power tools, is typically outsourced to factories in China to maintain low consumer costs. The ultimate ownership remains with the Harald Nyborg group in Denmark, which also operates related banners like jem & fix.
