Gransfors Bruk Hunter’s Axe

Winner of the “Excellent Swedish Design” Award!

Dual use design made with the hunter in mind!

Comes with a vegetable-tanned genuine leather sheath and the Gransfors Axe Book.

Gransfors Bruk Hunter’s Axe is made with the hunter in mind. It is specially designed to have a dual use. It can be used to chop and split wood and used to aid in skinning the hunter’s quarry. Of course it is also great for chopping meat! The poll of the Hunter’s Axe if forged thinner than normal and it is gently rounded and burnished to a “Flay Poll” for use when skinning an animal. An axe with a normal straight poll with squared, sharp corners can easily damage the hide when used for skinning.

The grip of the hickory handle has circular grooves giving it a rougher surface which gives a better grip and helps the hands from slipping off the handle even if the hands or the handle are wet.

The Gransfors Bruk Hunter’s Axe is winner of the “Excellent Swedish Design” award. It is the first and only axe in Sweden that has received this award which was given by: The Swedish Society of Crafts and Design.

The Hunter’s Axe has a 3¼” face and a hickory handle that’s about 19″ in length. The axe head weighs 1½ lbs.
