SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Gränsfors Bruk Small Splitting Axe Model 441 is a powerhouse designed for efficiently splitting medium-sized firewood. Combining expert craftsmanship with rugged durability, this axe is built for those who demand precision and reliability in their wood-splitting tools. Whether you're stocking up for winter or preparing firewood for a campsite, this axe delivers the power and efficiency needed to get the job done with minimal effort.
The axe head is forged from high-quality Ovako recycled steel, ensuring a durable and long-lasting cutting edge. At 2.5 pounds, the head provides enough weight for effective splitting without being cumbersome. The bit is thin and concave, expertly ground to penetrate wood fibers quickly before the widening profile forces the split apart. This efficient design means less effort is required with each swing, making it easier to process firewood in a short amount of time.
The 23-inch hickory handle offers a comfortable balance of reach and control. Long enough to generate the necessary splitting force yet compact enough for precise handling, it is ideal for home use or packing along for outdoor adventures. The handle features circular grooves at the grip, enhancing control, while a steel collar near the head adds extra reinforcement against overstrikes, increasing the axe's longevity. Hickory’s natural shock-absorbing qualities further reduce strain, making for a more comfortable chopping experience.
Each Gränsfors Bruk Small Splitting Axe comes with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath, protecting the edge when not in use. It also includes "The Axe Book," a detailed guide on Gränsfors Bruk’s axe-making tradition and proper maintenance, ensuring users get the most out of their tool. Built to last and designed for efficiency, this axe is an excellent choice for those who value quality and craftsmanship in their wood-cutting gear. Order it today from SMKW!
