Product Description
Gransfors Bruks Outdoor Axe, Item ID: 425
The Gränsfors Outdoor Axe was developed with the help of survival
expert Lars Fält, and is ideal for those who want to use an axe in different
ways when out and about in the countryside. Although it is light, it can be
used to fell a tree, thanks to its relatively long handle and heavy, elongated head.
The axe is also excellent for limbing a tree. The handle has a protective
steel collar near the head so that the axe can be used for light wood
splitting tasks. It can also be used as a large knife.
The axe is delivered with a sheath and the Gransfors Bruks Axe book.
Lars Fält, who worked with Gränsfors Bruk to design the Gränsfors
Outdoor Axe, established the Swedish Armed Forces Survival School
and has trained the Swedish Army Ranger Battalion for 35 years at the
Ranger School and Parachute Ranger School. He has also written
10 books on survival and outdoor pursuits.
Specifications:
Length with handle: 15.50 inch / 37 centimeter
Weight: 1 lbs / 0.5 kg
Vegetable-tanned leather sheath included.
Axe book and warranty certificate included.

But once you get past that, this is an incredibly well balanced all around campmaking, bushcrafting and survival tool that will hold up for years to come. It's razor sharp out of the box and incredibly well balanced, and it has features that make it a usable (albeit not ideal) splitting axe. Some might think it's trying to be a bit too much at once and is not really good at any one thing; at this weight and size it outperforms many small and full size axes, and still can be comfortably one-handed like any hatchet.
The handle is also very well proportioned with a palm swell just below the bit of the axe, which allows for very comfortable detail work (kindling, notching, carving, and even dicing chives!). The metal collar under the head helps to offset any impacts to the handle from splitting.
It's not going to replace your maul for splitting cord after cord of wood, but I don't think you could get a better camp axe that you could comfortably throw in a backpack, use one handed and achieve the same kind of work and efficiency.
A few fatigued slips caused me to ding the handle a couple times, but it’s hardly noticeable. Blade held up extremely well over the course of the whole tree.

A few fatigued slips caused me to ding the handle a couple times, but it’s hardly noticeable. Blade held up extremely well over the course of the whole tree.
Size wise I would relate this to a carpenters framing hammer with a serious compact blade on it. If you have any experience framing with a hammer then you should be ok. If you have ever hit your thumb with a framing hammer then you will hopefully have the awareness to keep your digits. Do not buy this for an accident prone family member. It is razor sharp and can shave with it from the factory. I did.

Wurde für Wandertouren und Outdooraktivitäten gekauft, bisher leider erst ein mal kurz benutzt. Qualität scheit auf den ersten Blick sehr gut, schärfe bombastisch. Vor allem, dass der Axtkopf recht leicht, aber perfekt auf den verhältnismäßig langen Stiel angepasst ist (oder anders herum...) macht das Arbeiten sehr angenehm.
