The Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe is a classic tool of the outdoors, and remains the best-selling model from the revered Gransfors range. Thanks in large part to its longstanding reputation for reliability, ease of use and superb build quality, it is arguably the most popular axe in the world of bushcraft. Indeed, Ray Mears heralded this model as "the number one axe choice for bushcraft" for many years, until the release of the Gransfors Bruks Ray Mears Wilderness Axe collaboration in 2010.

The Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe is an excellent all-round choice for woodworking in the outdoors. It features a larger head and longer handle than the Wildlife Hatchet model, and therefore provides more chopping power. However, the Small Forest Axe is still small enough to fit into a rucksack.

The Small Forest Axe is excellent for felling trees and limbing, and the length of the handle means that it can be used efficiently with one hand or pressed to bigger jobs with two.

Each axe is forged using traditional methods in the same factory, situated in the Swedish village of Gränsfors. As a guarantee of quality, each axe head is individually stamped with the smith’s initials.

Love the axe. Already used it on an overnight bushcraft trip and it was all I hoped for. Came very sharp and lived up to the hype.

Service was perfect and all delivery etc was quick. My girlfriend purchased the axe and said the service was “amazing”. The axe - the handle grain was very good, well within the acceptable variance from perfect. GB states it has been dipped in linseed oil and then beeswax. I’m not an expert but it seemed a very light coat if any at all which was fine for me as I wanted to apply my own oil and wax. It took coats on very well. Very small ding or two in the handle, sanding marks etc but a beautiful handle over all. GB seems to have changed how they hang the handle as this does not have the three leg metal pin holding the wedge I’ve seen in other GB axes. There were a few gaps between the head and the handle on the bottom but I would expect this from a hand forged tool and filled them with beeswax. The sheath - it’s a very nice sheath though I do think it felt like a thinner, lighter leather is used compared to a friends older axe. Still feels and looks of a very good quality. The head - looking at the blade I noticed there were two very small chips and the blade edge is not a perfect grind. I checked the edge with my thumb and it felt quite sharp though. Gave it the arm hair test and it shaved it clean! So..can’t complain there. Overall - very pleased with the site, impressed in fact. Very happy with the product though I do feel perhaps some standards of GB have changed to meet demand. Would still buy another one today and have already started looking at their splitting mail. I would definitely buy from Woodlore and the Ray Mears site again.

Let’s be honest, any Gransfors Bruks product is world class. My only minute request would be related to the handle. It was a bit rough. Of course I treat all my handles with boiled linseed oil but it could have been a bit more factory refined.

If there’s an ultimate bushcraft camp axe, this is it. It’s profiled excellently and cuts through wood like butter! I now want a bigger one to match!
