 These axes are forged in Sweden to the highest standards by the smiths at
Gransfors Bruks. Every axe head is individually hand shaped under
the forging hammers from a special axe steel and then tempered and
annealed to the right toughness. Each head is sharpened, oiled and
signed with the smith's initials. Axe heads are fitted to shafts
made from select American hickory that has been soaked in hot
linseed oil. Gransfors has axes for felling, hunting, carving,
chopping, splitting and even throwing. Used by carpenters, campers,
log-home builders and home owners, each axe is a wonderful tool
designed and crafted for it's intended use and we believe the very
best value in cutting tools available.
