Gransfors Bruk 465 Carpenter's Axe Natural Hickory 17.5in GB465

The scent of dry timber and fresh shavings fills the air as you take the Gransfors Bruk 465 Carpenter’s Axe in hand. It's perfectly balanced weight and precisely ground edge invite control and confidence with every stroke. Designed for craftsmen who shape wood into works of function and beauty, this axe embodies a heritage of precision forged in Swedish tradition. The Gransfors Bruk 465 Carpenter’s Axe is not a tool for splitting logs—it’s a finely tuned instrument for those who shape wood with purpose.

Hand-forged by skilled Swedish smiths, each axe bears the initials of its maker—a personal mark of quality and pride. The head, weighing approximately 1.5 pounds, is crafted from premium Swedish carbon steel and ground to a long, straight 3.5-inch edge that excels in cutting flat, smooth surfaces. The thin blade geometry and flat bevel allow the axe to slice through dry timber with accuracy that feels almost surgical. Whether you’re hewing beams, trimming joints, or carving custom fittings, the 465 provides unmatched control and balance for detailed craftsmanship.

The ergonomic head design features a distinctive inward curve, letting you grip just above the blade for exceptional precision and comfort during close work. Paired with a 17.5-inch straight handle made from natural American Hickory, the axe offers a neutral balance ideal for both right- and left-handed use. The grain and finish of the hickory handle enhance feedback and control, allowing the axe to feel like an extension of your hand.

Every Gransfors Bruk Carpenter’s Axe includes a vegetable-tanned leather sheath that protects the finely honed edge while maintaining its readiness for the next project. Weighing around two pounds in total, it’s a tool built for a lifetime of dedicated use—one that matures in feel and character with every cut.

For the serious woodworker, timber framer, or artisan who values precision and craftsmanship, the Gransfors Bruk 465 Carpenter’s Axe stands as the gold standard. It’s more than just a cutting tool—it’s a testament to heritage, skill, and design built to last for generations.
