Axes
Gransfors Bruks is a small Swedish family operated company formed in 1902. Ever since it was founded the company has been making axes of the finest quality. The smiths at Grnsfors Bruks are famous for their skill.
GRANSFORS AXES are forged by professional smiths. The proof of this professionalism is that they are able to forge axes with such precision that no supplementary work, to hide mistakes in the forging, is needed.
At Gransfors Bruks the forging craft is allowed to take its time. The smiths do not work by the piece. They take care and do the right forging from the beginning. There is no need to stone or grind or smooth or paint the axes in order to hide or eliminate imperfections in the forging.
A smith at Gransfors Bruks has nothing to hide and is proud of his professional standards. When satisfied with the work, the smith marks the head with his initials beside the companys crown label.
Gransfors Bruks tools carry a 20 year guarantee on the head (not the handle)...
Definition: A tool or instrument of steel, or of iron with a steel edge or blade, for felling trees, chopping and splitting wood, hewing timber, etc. It is wielded by a wooden helve or handle, so fixed in a socket or eye as to be in the same plane with the blade. The broadax, or carpenter's ax, is an ax for hewing timber, made heavier than the chopping ax, and with a broader and thinner blade and a shorter handle.
