Adding six inches of solid hickory handle to their hatchets, the Gransfors Bruks small forest axe is still lightweight and small enough to fit in your pack or belt, but can break down some serious branches and even small trees.

Why We Love It

This Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe is expertly crafted by experienced Swedish smiths whose skills and designs are world famous. Each hatchet head is individually hammered into shape and bears the initials of the smith who made it, creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Honed, annealed and tempered to an exact hardness, the hatchet’s blade edge is tested by striking it with a massive forging hammer.
