Gransfors Bruk 439 Splitting Hatchet Natural Hickory 19in GB439

The Gransfors Bruk 439 Splitting Hatchet with a Natural Hickory handle is more than just a wood-splitting tool—it’s a link to generations of Swedish craftsmanship. Imagine the satisfying rhythm of a clean, effortless split as you prepare firewood for a long winter night. That feeling of precision and power comes alive every time you swing this handcrafted hatchet. Forged by a skilled blacksmith in Gränsfors, Sweden, the 439 Splitting Hatchet embodies the perfect balance between form and function, with each head stamped by its maker as a symbol of enduring quality.

This hatchet is designed for anyone who values the ritual of working with wood—homesteaders, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who simply loves the warm glow of a well-prepared fire. Its 19-inch American Hickory handle offers the versatility for both one- and two-handed use, allowing controlled precision for kindling or full-force power for splitting small logs. The thin, concave bit of the head ensures deep, clean penetration into the wood, while the broader wedge design efficiently drives the fibers apart. A forged steel collar adds protection where it matters most—between the head and handle—safeguarding against overstrikes and extending the life of this heirloom-quality tool.

Each detail of the Gransfors Bruk 439 Splitting Hatchet reflects a commitment to excellence. From the comfortable grip grooves carved into the hickory handle to the vegetable-tanned leather sheath that protects its razor-sharp edge, every element serves a purpose. Weighing 3.3 lb with a 2.5-inch cutting edge, it strikes the perfect balance between power and control. The included Axe Book provides care tips and insights into Gransfors Bruk’s long-standing forging tradition, ensuring that your tool remains as dependable as the day it was made.
