  A story, I collect and engrave Knives, I also customize small hatchets, well this model Gransfors Bruks Outdoor Axe, I bought my first one 20-30 years ago and it is still in use today. 2 handle replacements - both my fault. I live in the Australian Bush, knife, gun, axes are a part of life. If I could only take one item to help survive bush I would take this. I cut all veges, meat and food with it, you can get them so sharp you can shave, cuts kindling, branches and small logs for the fire. Look it will fall a 18 inch thick tree if you get on your knees and work hard, but it will do it. Can use it as a hammer, strike a fire lighter off it and after some practice it throws, deadly accurate. It is light at usually under 500 grams depending which maker made it, you can look up on the Bruks website by the 2 initials on the top left face, who made it, most have a bio. You don't feel it on your belt or backpack if traveling. Needs a belt loop to carry and I get a smaller blade face only cover made for mine. I have 19 in my collection one of each maker I have found so far, plus 5 more I have, in each of our 4 vehicles, behind the back ute seat and my personal one, which is modified and engraved that goes everywhere I go whilst in the bush.. Since Covid came the factory has been shut a lot and stock is now getting impossible to find, My Australian supplier had run out and some of the outrages prices from the US $400US plus is just ridiculous. These 2 landed at my door for a little less than the special price I get from my dealer and ship fast, easy and simple. Ray Mears Bushcraft and the Woodlore team for me and my purchases were just OUTSTANDING to deal with in every way. I can not recommend the Gransfors Bruks Outdoor Axe highly enough or this team for their service and professionalism. David Rennie Western Australia

  Amazing little axe, Gransfors Bruks are a quality brand and their commitment to sustainability and product quality is second to none (in my opinion) and I would highly recommend this axe for light wood chopping, kindling and carving etc etc. I’d say for felling small trees and bigger log splitting you should look to the Small Forest axe or the Scandinavian axe for bigger jobs.

  Wow, gorgeous axe with a long warranty and a very handy 'axe' book that it comes with, filled with info on how to use for many different applications along with info about their other axes. When I went looking for this axe, this place was the only one with her still in stock. I haven't gotten to use it to its full potential yet but for some small little projects it's very nimble and I love how easy it is to attach to your belt and how lightweight/balanced it is. Got a feeling it'll be with me on all camping adventures moving forward. I have never bought from Ray Mears before but I will definitely be back for some other things in the future. It appears they really only carry high quality and well-tested gear!

  I added this axe to my kit because of its size and weight. It’s very lightweight and easy to carry. The axe arrived fairly sharp. My first trip in the woods found this a much better tool for processing small campfires than a knife alone. I always thought an axe would be cumbersome in the field, I was wrong, now I’d never camp without this axe.

  This wee axe is what I expected, great fit and finish, the usual hand forged head and sharp as anything. I gave it a bit of TLC and now it shaves. I've done a bit of limbing and some chopping and look forward to using it on canoe camping trips as soon as we are free to do so. I like the profile of the blade as it will split wood easily so I think this will be a very versatile small axe. I am pleased I bought it and cannot thank the customer service staff enough for the advice.

  I've been looking for a good quality axe that's lightweight and easy to carry when hiking & camping. I'm a big fan of Gränsfors Bruks and as soon as I saw it listed on here I bought it. The fact that each axe is hand forged makes it that much more special and a sign of quality. The axe was delivered securely and well packaged and took less than two days to arrive. I'd highly recommend.

  A great axe to have in your pack. Can be used to split logs, trim branches or make a feather stick.

  Perfect little axe for a day pack. It came razor sharp. It bites deep in to wood despite its size and weight. Makes short work of tent stakes and kindling.
