Gransfors Burks Small Forest Axe 420 + Guaranty Made in Sweden

 Small Forest Axe:

Gränsfors Small Forest Axe have larger heads and longer shaft than the Wilderness axe and therefore give better effect when cutting. The axe is not greater than it goes down in a backpack and is very well suited to cutting trees and pruned with.

Characteristic of forest axe is that the cutting edge is long and rounded, with a flat and elongated axe head. It is designed for cutting of wood fibre, which is good for felling and limbing, unlike wood splitting when hewn goes along with the wood grain.

Gränsfors Axes are forged by very skilled smiths. The proof of this skill is that they can forge axes with such precision that no post-processing is needed and this is what distinguishes Gränsfors Axes from other industrially manufactured axes.

Axe shaft is manufactured by Hickory, a low wood fibre. The long fibres making the wood both strong and flexible, and that the shaft is made of this wood makes it even greener than the handles of plastic or fiberglass. The handle is treated with linseed oil and beeswax, and its form will provide a firm grip, even when hands are kept far out, giving more power and safer felling.
