The Gransfors Bruk 430 Scandinavian Forest Axe with a Natural Hickory handle is built for those who find peace and purpose in the rhythm of the woods. Imagine standing beneath tall pines as the morning fog lifts, feeling the weight of a tool forged for generations of woodsmen. The crisp sound of steel striking timber connects you to the craftsmanship and precision of Swedish blacksmiths who have refined this axe to perfection. The Model 430 isn’t just for cutting wood—it’s a statement of respect for tradition, performance, and reliability in every swing.

Designed for demanding outdoor work, the Gransfors Bruk Scandinavian Forest Axe excels when felling medium to large trees or cutting through fresh, resinous wood. Its 25-inch Natural Hickory handle provides optimal reach and leverage, giving you powerful control without unnecessary strain. The hand-forged Swedish steel head, weighing approximately 2 pounds, features a thin, curved bit that slices cleanly through softwoods, transforming hard labor into skilled craftsmanship. Each axe bears the stamped initials of the individual blacksmith, a mark of pride and quality assurance that reflects over a century of Swedish forging expertise.

Engineered for balance and endurance, the Model 430’s total weight of 2.6 pounds makes it powerful yet manageable, allowing for long sessions of cutting, splitting, or trail work. The vegetable-tanned leather sheath keeps the blade protected, while the handle’s smooth grain provides a firm, natural grip that only improves with use. Backed by Gransfors Bruk’s 20-year guarantee against forging defects, this is an axe designed to be trusted, maintained, and eventually passed down—a true heirloom tool built for a lifetime in the field.
