The Gränsfors Bruk Small Forest Axe draws from classic Swedish designs, offering both size and strength. It features a bigger head and longer handle than the Wildlife Hatchet, yet it's still compact enough for easy rucksack storage; great for camping trips or those interested in bushcraft. This also makes it effective for woodland tasks like tree felling and limbing. You can use it one-handed or grip with both hands, based on your skill level and comfort.
Key Features:
- Head: Weighing in at about 1kg (2lbs) with a 90mm sharp edge.
- Handle: Fashioned from American Hickory, the handle is 500mm in length, designed for single or double-handed grip.
- Protection: Each axe comes its own vegetable tanned leather sheath. For those seeking a touch of luxury and added longevity, opt for our Woodsmith special hand-stitched sheath. Plus, enjoy insights from the accompanying Gränsfors Bruk Axe Book and peace of mind with their 20-year guarantee on the head.
- Aftercare: Accidents happen. We stock replacement parts and offer repair services, ensuring your axe is always ready for the next adventure.
