Gransfors Bruk Double Bit Axe Model 490 GB490

The Gränsfors Double Bit Axe is a purpose-built tool designed for the growing sport of axe throwing, combining North American axe heritage with Swedish craftsmanship. Based on traditional working double bit axes, this model has been precisely modified to meet the demands of competitive throwing, with ideal weight, balance, and symmetry. It’s not just made to look good on the wall—it’s built to perform under pressure.

Each edge of the 6.29" carbon steel blade is ground to the same profile, ensuring balanced rotation through the air and consistent performance regardless of which side hits the target. The double edge also adds utility and life to the axe, allowing throwers to sharpen and rotate edges as needed. The carbon steel used by Gränsfors is known for its durability, edge retention, and ease of maintenance, all essential for repeated use in high-impact throwing.

Measuring 30.75" overall and weighing 84oz, this axe has the heft and reach to deliver smooth, controlled throws with serious sticking power. The handle is carefully shaped and positioned to provide optimal center of gravity and aerodynamics, so the axe rotates cleanly in flight. Made from high-quality hickory, the handle offers shock absorption, strength, and a natural grip feel that improves with age and use.

Gränsfors Bruk has ensured that this axe meets the dimensions required for official axe throwing competitions, making it an excellent choice for league throwers, serious hobbyists, or anyone who demands a high-performance tool that conforms to professional standards. It also comes equipped with two brown leather edge covers for safe transport and storage, keeping both the blades and your gear protected when not in use.

Crafted in Sweden with a focus on quality, balance, and tradition, the Gränsfors Double Bit Axe is a premium throwing axe with heritage roots and modern performance. Order it today from SMKW!
