The Gransfors Wildlife Hatchet Axe is the model most commonly used by beginners: it is the second-lightest of our axes, weighing in at approximately 750g, and is the smallest of the three axes shown in the video above. It is of excellent quality, hand-forged and made using traditional Swedish methods by Gransfors. Each axe head comes individually stamped with the smith’s initials, while the handle features an exclusive embossed Ray Mears logo.
With a length of only 36cm it is a very portable tool, making it an ideal axe to use when packing weight is an issue. This axe can only be used one-handed, and is effective for chopping firewood or light axe carving. This is a first-rate tool, so long as it isn't used to tackle jobs that require a heavier axe. It makes a great partner to the Laplander Cutting Saw for providing a fixed camp with plenty of sound firewood.

Not a long time user review as I only received this morning. Less than 48 hours from order to the north of Scotland, thanks Woodlore.
Just tried the hatchet out on some old pallets for kindling. Used a Stanley Fubar to break them up then the hatchet to split the wood.
Fabulous bit of kit with lovely balance and incredibly sharp as arrived. Made the job a pleasure.
