The Gransfors Bruks Scandinavian Forest Axe is a full-sized, two-handed axe from Gransfors. Each axe head comes individually stamped with the smith's initials, while the handle features the embossed Gransfors logo.

This axe is of excellent quality, hand-forged and made using traditional Swedish methods. With a 64 cm helve, an experienced axe user will have sufficient strength to use it one-handed.

Ray reserves this axe for use almost exclusively in boreal forests in winter where the demands of limbing snow-covered branches and chopping into the tight grain of slow-growing timber present tough work. This is a beautiful axe to use, with a pleasing weight and swing.

For those of you with an interest in axe-forging or blacksmithing, we recommend 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.

Beautiful axe with perfect balance, heft and scary sharp blade. I’ve used it a bit and really enjoy it. It now lives in my truck and will go with me on the road and trail.

This axe is fantastic, I own 16 different axes of various shapes and sizes. But, this is the one my kids fight over. It is big enough to fell a tree but small enough to dress a fish. (Both of which I've done) the edge retention is amazing and not hard to hone. The only thing I don't like about it is the sheath, one rivet seems to be placed a little inside of where it should be which allows it to bump against the blade. Outside of that everything is fantastic, the grain orientation is ideal, very well balanced and indexes like a knife. Woodlore was great, being in the US I was concerned about shipping but everything was handled quickly and orderly, very nice people. I appreciate the savings and doing business with them.

Brilliant axe. I own the Small Forest Axe aswell and this is great for jobs when you need a bit more oomph, with this and the Small Forest you can just about do any job you would need an axe for whether it is felling, limbing or splitting I would say they're jack of all trades, master of none.

This axe is amazing! Best quality axe I've ever held and the manufacturing process is the main topic of cool when speaking to others about this axe. I'm going to buy one gransfors bruks axe a year until I have the entire line-up. Don't hesitate, just buy this axe..

An absolute gem of an axe. I have always wanted an axe that I could carry on my pack, and I have several, but this is by far the best size you could ask for. The quality is superb and arrived in record time from England to California. Even in the states I could not find this axe nor could I even find it for this price, what a great deal. The handle on this axe is not marked with Gransfors Bruks but rather is branded with Ray Mears Bushcraft and I love it. The head is marked by Gransfors Bruks and is also stamped with the makers name and is also of great quality and sharp out of the box.

Order process went smoothly, great price. The axe I received was beautiful, well built and showed of high quality craftsmanship. The axe performs well, I will pass this tool onto my children and grandchildren. My overall experience with the Ray Mears Bush craft site was excellent. The axe head fits properly, the steal is of excellent quality, and the handle grain is outstanding. I own 14 hatchets and axes and this may well become my favourite. Thank you for the high quality Axe.
