    OVERVIEW

    The Gränsfors Mortise Axe is a precision tool built for timber framers, log builders, and craftsmen who need to cut deep, narrow notches with accuracy and efficiency. Purpose-built for hewing sills and notching joints, this specialist axe is a serious upgrade from using a standard chisel or broad axe when shaping heavy timbers. With a slim, elongated head profile, it allows for deep cuts in confined areas that would be otherwise difficult or slow to reach with conventional tools.

    Measuring 19" overall and weighing 42oz, the Mortise Axe offers the perfect blend of weight and balance for controlled, deliberate strikes. The narrow head design allows it to sink deep into wood with each swing, making long vertical cuts possible without overcutting or damaging the joint. For craftsmen working on large logs or traditional joinery, this axe is both a time-saver and a precision instrument.

    Forged from high-quality carbon steel by skilled Swedish smiths at Gränsfors Bruk, the Mortise Axe maintains a sharp edge and holds up to repeated use under rugged conditions. The steel is tough and easy to maintain, ideal for the demands of professional timber work where consistency and edge retention are critical.

    The handle is crafted from premium hickory, chosen for its natural shock absorption and long-lasting durability. It’s ergonomically shaped for a comfortable grip and confident control, even during extended work sessions. Whether you're carving mortises for a log cabin build or detailing timber frames, the handle and head work together to give you cleaner cuts with less fatigue.

    Each Mortise Axe comes with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath to protect the blade when not in use. This not only helps preserve the edge but also keeps your gear safe during transport and storage. Gränsfors stands behind every tool they make with a reputation built on tradition, quality, and practical design.
