The Splitting Hatchet is an excellent splitting axe from Swedish company Gransfors. Each axe head comes individually stamped with the smith's initials, while the handle features an exclusive embossed Ray Mears logo.
As with all Gransfors products, each axe is of excellent quality; hand-forged and made using traditional Swedish methods.
This axe is forged and ground to a concave, giving a thinner blade at the bit. This design helps the axe to go fast into the wood, splitting efficiently when the thicker part hits and pushes the wood apart. This model is ideal for one-handed splitting and the chopping of stove wood.

For those of you with an interest in axe-forging or blacksmithing, we recomend taking a look at the Swedish Blacksmithing Book.
Protect your axe head from rust and corrosion by applying a small amount of Camellia Oil to the blade.
