Gransfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet
July 15, 2017 - Comment
*UPDATE: We have now made design changes on some products. The steel wedge on the top of the handle will be removed. The steel wedge works as an extra support for the wooden wedge that is used to fix the axe head to the handle. The reliability in process when attaching the handles has been improved, which means that the steel wedge is not necessary. Based on trials and experience we have now decided to remove the steel wedge on the products listed below. Since we continuously strive for not using more materials and components than necessary, without compromising on functionality, we have therefore decided to stop using steel wedge on: 413 Hand Hatchet 415 Wildlife Hatchet The Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet is a general-use small axe that is sized right for backpacking or attaching to a belt. It is the most popular Hatchet from Gransfors. Either the Wildlife Hatchet or the Small Forest Axe are the most popular blades made by Gransfors. The Wildlife Hatchet is a general camping hatchet that can chop, split and cut. The Wildlife Hatchet is popular as a gift. For example, a gentleman in Tennessee who was getting together with some old friends gave one to each of them. Another customer told us he loves the Hatchet, and said it is so sharp he was able to easily slice and dice the tomato he needed for some tacos. The oil finish on the Gransfors Axes is not “food service”, but this tale gives you an idea of the sharpness and versatility of this general camp tool. The 13.5 inch (34 cm) hickory handle attaches to a 1 pound (454 gm) head with a 3 inch (76 mm) bit. Leather sheath included. All Gransfors Axes come with the AXE BOOK and a 20 year guarantee. -SwedishAx.com

A Bush Person’s Hatchet This is one of the finest hatchets I have ever owned, and possibly my last one if I don’t lose it. It is a piece of art and a brilliant balance between a tool to process firewood, and a tool to craft wooden tools and utensils. It requires care and comes with an excellent book describing how it is manufactured, by whom, and how to care for it. Strop often and coat with fat or gun oil after exposure to the elements. Worth every penny I paid.
Crocodile Dundee has hatchet envy. An Amazon purchase from two years ago.
I’d trust my life to this tool. I wanted to wait awhile to write a review on this hatchet. So, it’s been a few months. I’ve taken it camping, cut fire wood logs with it, carved stakes, and I will use it to build my house. And a chainsaw, of course. But this thing is so well made, razor sharp right out of the box, and if you keep it sharp regularly, it won’t need any serious sharpening tools. I watched a lot of videos all around the web before I chose this hatchet. I also treated the handle with boiled linseed oil, then…
