Smiths:  Gransfors Bruk Axes are forged by very skilled smiths. The proof of this skill is that each smith can forge an axe with such precision that no post-processing is needed.  This is what distinguishes Gransfors Axes from other industrially manufactured axes. Each Gransfors Bruk Axe has the initials of the master smith who actually forged it stamped on the axe head to proudly highlight the excellence behind the workmanship. The Small Forest Axe listed here was forged by MB – Mattias Blixt-Pettersson.Gransfors Forest Axes are made to be used in the forest for everything from felling large trees to limbing small logs.  The Gransfors Bruk Small Forest Axe is a classic tool of the outdoors, and remains the best-selling model from the revered Gransfors range. Thanks in large part to its longstanding reputation for reliability, ease of use, and superb build quality it is arguably the most popular axe in the world.The Gransfors Bruk Small Forest Axe features a larger head and longer handle than the Wildlife Hatchet and therefore provides more chopping power. It is however still small enough to fit into a rucksack. The Small Forest Axe is excellent for felling trees and limbing, and the length of the handle means that it can be used efficiently with one hand or pressed to bigger jobs using a two handed grip. The Handle: The handle on Gransfors Bruk axes was designed by Hans Erik Persson. Gransfors Bruk handles are made from hickory. Hickory is the perfect wood because it is both strong and flexible. It has long, parallel fibres which increases the life of the handle. To further improve the quality of each handle, it is soaked in hot linseed oil then treated with beeswax to make it more resistant to dirt and water
Manufacturer: Gransfors Bruk has been making handcrafted axes for over 100 years. Each axe is signed with the smith’s initials as a guarantee of quality. The company is located in the Swedish village of Gransfors in northern Halsingland. The forge sits at the heart of Gränsfors village and you can hear the rhythmic pounding from the forge as you approach. Product information:Small Forest Axe : Comes complete with a copy of the Gransfors Axe Book Sheath:  vegetable-tanned leather Warranty: workmanship guaranteed for 20 years Handle: 19.3 inches hickory Weight: 2 lbs.Country of origin: Sweden
