Razor sharp still. I put boiled linseed oil on mine. Still look beautiful 5 years later. I put Nikwax on the leather cover too.

Shipped quickly and bought at a very reasonable price. I was surprised by how fast I received the item. It is a perfect axe for slapping on my rucksack and heading into the woods. Works great for splitting smaller logs and taking off branches, and is light enough to not feel cumbersome. While you 'could' take down larger trees with some effort , it is better suited for smaller jobs you would encounter around a campsite. The axe comes razor sharp and ready to be used and abused, and judging by its quality will withstand years of abuse.

This Small Forest Axe is very easy to use and convenient! Anything is enough with this one axe.

One of the most popular axes in the Gransfors Bruks range, made more exclusive by the Ray Mears branding. The head is outstanding, as would be expected from any Gransfors axe. Curiously the very top and bottom points of the cutting edge have been ground off, which I haven’t seen before. This has however stopped the axe from cutting through the sheath, which seems to be a common issue with Gransfors axes. Axe head to handle fitting seems very tight. The handle length to head weight ratio seem perfect. The handle came quite rough, but easily remedied with a light sanding and several coats of boiled linseed oil. Handle grain is tight and straight. Fast delivery, as always with Woodlore. Very happy with this purchase.

I really like the Small Forest Axe. It was razor sharp straight out the box and the quality was obvious straight away. I have used it for splitting, limbing, carving walking sticks, preparing kindling and even tried some feather sticks. It's so versatile and can easily be used one handed or two. If I had to choose only one axe it would be the Small Forest.

Great axe, razor sharp out of the box. Still very happy after around 2 years use, feels comfortable in the hand and is top quality. Also as usual excellent service and super-fast delivery. Happy repeat customer!

Used this axe during a ‘carving with Ray’ experience. I ordered my own as soon as I got home and received a fantastic quality axe within a couple of days. Not had chance to do any more carving yet but hope to spend many quiet hours in the country with this axe.
It arrived sharp enough to get going and lightly oiled. In accordance with Ray’s recommendation I’ll be removing the handle finish and oiling myself for a more durable finish.

Used it for the first time recently. Effortlessly felled a couple of birch and oak saplings. Well balanced, sharp and beautiful craftsmanship.
