Gransfors Bruks SMALL SPLITTING AXE for Camping

The Gränsfors Bruks SMALL SPLITTING AXE (p/n: 441) is an excellent choice for splitting medium-sized firewood. Featuring a 20'' hickory handle with a protective steel collar near the head and circular grooves towards the grip end for a secure hold, this axe is designed to be comfortably managed with one hand.

The head of this axe has been forged and ground to a concave, thin blade at the bit, which helps it cut quickly and efficiently into the wood. As the broader section of the blade then pushes apart the wood, it effectively splits the material. This design allows for fast and effective splitting performance.

It's important to note that the poll (back) of this axe, like most axes, is not intended for pounding on a wedge. The axe comes complete with a protective grain-leather sheath.

Some key features of the Gränsfors Bruks SMALL SPLITTING AXE include: - Head Weight: 32 oz. - Face Width: 2.5'' - Handle Length: 20'' - Split Grain Leather Sheath

All Gränsfors Bruks tools are hand forged in Sweden from high-quality steel, then carefully hardened and tempered to Rockwell 57 for an optimal balance of hardness and durability.

The overall length of the axe with the handle is 23¼" (59cm), with a total weight of 35½"lb (1.6kg) and a cutting edge of 2½" (63mm).

Please note that the Gränsfors 20-YEAR guarantee covers only the axe head against manufacturing defects. This axe does not have a hardened poll and should not be used for striking a wedge or as a wedge itself.

The accompanying Axe Book may be provided in Swedish or German, but an English version PDF is available upon request.

In summary, the Gränsfors Bruks SMALL SPLITTING AXE is a well-designed and high-quality tool, forged for efficient wood splitting. Its thoughtful features, including the concave blade and protective handle components, make it a reliable choice for medium-sized firewood tasks.
