Gransfors Bruks first-class full size axe for felling trees and sectioning logs is based on a classic Colonial American pattern. The straight handle is 31": long and provides and easy "slide" for the handle through the hands, so is best when working with no bystanders.

The Swedes are the world's greatest axe enthusiasts, and Gränsfors Bruks is one of their finest forges. Each axe is carefully forged by an experienced smith who shows his pride in his work by stamping his initials on the head next to the company logo and each smith is introduced in the booklet that accompanies every Gränsfors Bruks axe. After forging, each blade is ground to a 25° bevel and honed to a razor edge handle with care! Each axe is fitted with a tight-grained hickory handle and provided with a grain-leather sheath with snap fastener.
