Gransfors Bruks Large Splitting Axe

  1 of 20

  I have a Gransfors small forest axe and also the wildlife hatchet, but wanted something with a little more splitting power for larger logs at home. Well… I certainly found it, this maul is a serious splitter. It’s a lot of mass to swing after using a small forest axe, but the weight of the axe does all the work here. The usual Gransfors quality of course and well worth the price. The metal collar is useful to prevent damage to the handle. I also appreciate having one that carries the Ray Mears Logo.

  A very nice and well made Splitting axe. It is very nice to handle and is extremely efficient. A pleasure to use.

  This Gränsfors Bruks Axe is Excellent. The quality is superb. I have found it very easy to split our logs as a novice. Not only it is a quality tool but the company ethos of being responsible for the total, to take less/waste less fits with my respect for our natural resources. Also, the professional finish even down to the stamping of the initials of the smith who made it, and a twenty year guarantee.

  I have purchased numerous things over the years from this site and always have received good service, the axe is perfect, you can tell quality when you use it, can be used one handed. I have a lot of rubbish wood with high sapp content and is a mare to split, full of knots this makes easy splitting, pay the extra and feel the difference.

  This axe is a joy to use, certainly in comparison to the very much cheaper splitting axe I bought from Amazon last year. It's beautifully balanced and thus easy to handle, and spectacularly sharp. I felled and bucked three dead trees, and then split the logs in no time at all and with much less effort than it usually takes me. Highly recommended.

  My son Jamie requested this as a birthday present, we tested it on some logs immediately and found it to be perfect for the job. Jamie went on a Scandinavian holiday with Ray Mears and was informed about the quality of Gransfors Bruks hand forged axes. He already has several others in the set. Regards Richard Webb.

  Fantastic piece of kit, not too heavy and splits the logs with ease. Great service from Woodlore.

  Splitting wood has never been such a pleasure ... Not only is this axe a work of art, its weight and balance is perfect. The addition of a metal collar which protects the handle near the axe head ensures longevity. Splitting wood is almost effortless regardless of your height, build and strength. Highly recommend to anyone! 'Splits wood like a demon!'

  I've split over 3 cubic meters of logs in two weeks and the axe is still sharp. The weight of the axe head, the extra shield of metal below the head, and the length of the all wood handle make this the perfect axe for log splitting. I would highly recommend it.

  I can't believe I didn't buy this axe sooner! It's worth every penny. Fantastic quality and splits 300mm dia oak rounds so easily. I've been using it one handed too for splitting kindling. 10/10.
