Wildlife Hatchet

For over 100 years, Gransfors Bruk has produced hand-forged axes in Sweden with an emphasis on quality and environmental responsibility. Experience and expertise that make Gransfors Bruk the benchmark brand for axes.

Every axe is developed to perform as well as possible in its field of use.
Every axe is made using the minimum of raw material (recycled and recyclable).
Every axe is made with respect for the people involved. Gransfors Bruk is particularly attached to the fact that the smiths stamp their initials on the axe heads they forge.

The Gransfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet is a small traditional axe designed for hiking, camping and scouting. This axe has the same head as the Hand Hatchet but with a longer handle. That longer handle gives the axe more power when felling trees, for instance.

The whole thing is very well balanced, and the hickory handle feels good and firm in the hand.

The edge is convex and then widens gently. A profile that helps the head enter the wood and stays effective for splitting

The shape of the sheath, which also covers the upper part of the head, prevents any contact between the axe head and your backpack.

The axe comes with a natural-tanned leather sheath and a copy of The Axe Book (in English).

Handy to have in your backpack when you need a small axe with plenty of power. This axe lets you cut fairly large branches or split smaller wood for the campfire.
