We at Light My Fire are the U.K. distributor of Gränsfors Bruks Axes. These are considered by many to be the best axes in the world. The Axes are very well balanced and therefore will do the job at hand more easily than any other axe.  They are also exceptionally sharp and will also hold their edges for a long time. They are made from very high quality carbon steel. The handles are made from the finest hickory and therefore will be very shock absorbing and hardwearing. Hickory also gives a much better “feel” than any other material. They are all hand-forged in Sweden and have a 20-year guarantee.

We also have a small range of Sharpening tools for when your axe finally starts losing its edge. These sharpening tools are also manufactured by Gränsfors of premium quality materials, to see the line click on sharpening above.

Gränsfors also makes Replicas of ancient axes, mainly Nordic, but they also make some trade axes and tomahawks. All these replicas are hand-made by their premier axe smith Lars Enander and have a 20-year guarantee. Most of the replicas have quite long waiting times so expect a bit of a wait, for the full range click on replicas.

To learn more about Gränsfors Bruks and their axes you can always get a copy of the Axe Book (a booklet from Gränsfors, available from Light My Fire Ltd for £1 or for free by ordering it from the Gränsfors web-site: www.gransfors.com).
