Gransfors Bruk Splitting Hatchet

Comes with a full-grain leather sheath and the Gransfors Axe Handbook.

The Gränsfors Splitting Hatchet can be used with one or two hands for smaller firewood. It is forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit which enables the axe to cut quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. When splitting wood, the handle is put under great strain at the axe head and the neck of the handle can easily hit the log that is being split from over strikes and mishits. A protective steel collar is installed below the axe head to help protect the wood from getting damaged if this happens. Circular grooves are found towards the end of the handle to provide extra firm grip.
