Like all Graensfors Bruks tools, this axe is the ultimate in design and quality! Just the right weight to carry around yet capable of doing a lot of things with it. It changes your outlook on what you can do outdoors dramatically. The little booklet is full of very useful advice and a worthy addition to the tool. Those guys at G.B. are serious about what they are doing! I also own the forest axe with the long handle and have it always in my car. A good step up in terms of efficiency, but a little bit heavier. The balance of it must have been felt to appreciate. A truly sophisticated tool!!! If it does not need to be carried around and to be very light, take this one.

I’m relatively new to hatchets and axes, having always used machetes or sling blades for any wood cutting/processing and of course cutting line when working in land surveying. Having seriously gotten into bushcrafting, I decided it was time to learn how to properly use and maintain an axe. I wanted something well-made, capable of lasting lifetimes, so I of course discovered Gransfors Bruk. The price was very steep, but the quality, it makes it well worth it. First thing, I chopped out a 7” pine stump and probably 50% of its roots, (Both for fatwood) and I swear that old pine felt similar to lettuce as far as resistance goes against the G.B. Wildlife Hatchet. It is truly a perfect example of when craftsmanship meets high quality.

GS manufacturers a quality product, probably the best. My use is on Oak Trees hardwood (Live Oaks) and maintains a sharp edge.
