American Felling Axe – 31” Handle

The Gränsfors American Felling Axe is a professional axe for those who want to work in the forest in the traditional way. The axe is ideal for felling very large trees, thanks to its long, broad edge. The axe is forged to a curved bit, making it suitable for cutting into fresh, resinous wood such as spruce or pine. The heavy head and long handle also give considerable power to the cut. The axe is almost twice as heavy as the Scandinavian Forest Axe. The axe face has a 4½’’ cutting edge and a 31″ hickory handle. Comes with a full grain leather sheath (cover) and a copy of The Axe Book. Weight: 3.3 lbs.

Produced by highly skilled blacksmiths, Gränsfors Bruk axes are forged from a special Swedish steel developed for axes. The proof of their forging prowess is such that no supplementary work (grinding or painting), that would hide imperfections and mistakes, is necessary. The blades are hardened and tempered to the correct toughness for maximum performance. The handles are made from first quality American hickory, properly fitted and wedged to the axe head, that are then oiled and provided with a grain-leather cover. All steps in production are carefully tested and checked. When finished, the smith stamps each head with the company stamp and his initials as a testament to his skill and pride.
