description
The Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian Forest Axe is a beautifully crafted tool designed for a wide range of forestry and wood processing tasks. Forged by hand in Sweden using traditional techniques, each axe head features a premium steel blade carefully hardened and tempered to hold a razor-sharp edge. The axe is paired with a 64cm premium hickory handle that is individually selected and shaped to provide optimal balance, power and control.
This combination of a long handle and relatively lightweight head makes the Scandinavian Forest Axe exceptionally nimble and efficient for felling trees, limbing branches, cutting firewood, and performing carpentry tasks. The gently curved bit follows the tree's shape for clean cuts, while the long handle provides leverage for powerful swings.
Each axe comes with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath to protect the edge and user during transport and storage. With the initials of the blacksmith visible on the head, and the iconic Gransfors Bruk logo burned into the handle, this heirloom-quality tool blends traditional craftsmanship with uncompromising performance. Whether you're a professional forester, woodsman, or discerning outdoors enthusiast, the Scandinavian Forest Axe is a lifetime companion for all your wilderness adventures.
