The Gränsfors Bruk American Felling Axe Model 4341 is built for serious work in the forest, combining traditional craftsmanship with raw cutting power. Designed for felling large trees and heavy-duty woodcutting, this axe delivers a satisfying balance of weight, control, and edge retention. Hand-forged in Sweden by expert smiths, the 4.5" steel axe head carries the distinctive forged finish that marks every Gränsfors tool—proof of its rugged quality and hardworking heritage.

The bit is thin and wide, made for deep, clean bites into tough timber. Whether you're swinging through pine, oak, or maple, this head powers through with less effort thanks to its well-ground geometry and exceptional steel hardness. It holds an edge well, so you’ll spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. The included vegetable-tanned leather sheath protects the edge and preserves your investment when not in use.

At 31", the straight hickory handle offers maximum leverage and shock absorption while keeping the overall profile lean and maneuverable. Hickory is a traditional favorite for its resilience and grain strength, and the carefully selected, oil-treated wood used here is no exception. It fits naturally in the hand and offers the kind of balance that seasoned woodsmen appreciate, giving you both speed and control in every swing.

Weighing in at 4.6 lbs and measuring 35.5" overall, this axe is a serious tool for serious users. It’s ideal for traditional logging, backcountry work, or anyone needing to take down trees with confidence and precision. Like every Gränsfors Bruk tool, it's crafted with pride and backed by a commitment to sustainability and quality.
