Gränsfors Bruk Splitting Hatchet

A thing of beauty to look at and when using ... Cuts like a hot knife through butter. A new family heirloom to pass down the generations.

I just got back from a week camping trip. I (or someone in the party) used this axe several times a day while making our cooking fires and evening warmth fire. Others in the party had brought small hand axes, but probably by the second day everyone just used the GB axe for all the splitting.
This is a great size when taking weight into consideration for backpacking or camping when you have supplied cut wood.

With this splitting hatchet I can bust-up a bunch of kindling in no time at all. Amazingly good at splitting rounds too. Exceptional quality. Well worth the cost.

This axe is top quality and made to last. Very pleased with the product and the information package that it comes with.

I got mine with the straight handle. I’m amazed that this splitting axe seems to hit exactly where I’m aiming ... over and over again. Even the knottiest birch is no match for the the blade geometry. The wood splits apart with explosive force easily sending the pieces a few feet in both directions..... (keep looky loos at a safe distance) The spiral grooves at the base of the handle give a secure no slip grip. I am very pleased
