Gransfors Bruk Hunters Axe

The quality of the axe is what you would expect from Gransfors Bruk. Very similar to the SMF, with different head shape, a little bit more narrow at the cheeks. For me, it's the merge between SMF and a Tomahawk. Right size for camping chores but hefty enough to cut down a tree if necessary. Remember it's a ”hand made ” tool so you may expect some minor esthetic glitches. Never the less, the point on having one of these axes is to make them yours. Use it every time I can and always sharper than before, at least it feels like that to me.

There's something about a simple, well made tool. Especially when the tool is a hammer or an axe, which logic tells us must have been the first hafted implements designed by Human Kind. As a tool-using primate, when I hold or use such a thing, I feel a connection to those who lived an astonishingly long time before... This axe, by Gransfors Bruk, is such an implement. Beautiful, well made and balanced, it fits my hand like it belongs these; and it does. Highly recommended!

This axe is the epitome of everything I love about the Gransfors Bruk brand. Every axe is perfectly thought out and designed for its intended purpose. The hardened, rounded and polished pole (so as not to damage the pelt); the thin profile down to its edge for precision cuts in field-dressing; the rough finish of the handle for grip while covered in blood… a true work of art. I own 16 gransfors bruk axes and enjoy them all. While the hunter’s axe will not be my most used gba (that will be the wildlife hatchet for camp chores and the large splitting axe for most of my splitting applications), it is truly a masterpiece of kit. Very happy with the purchase. An easy 5 stars.

Gransfors is the sharpest axe I have ever come across straight from the vendor. balance and feel are good.

All of the other 5 star reviews did this justice, my review is more of a rebuttal to the one bad review this incredible tool has. The lower half of the handle is supposed to be rougher than the upper half. It is grooved intentionally to help with your grip when your hands are wet or bloody. It is unfortunate to me that people don't research a product sufficiently before writing a bad review for it. Bottom line, it is a great axe or hatchet or whatever you want to call it. It is intelligently designed and I would recommend it to anybody who wants a top of the line hunting axe.

My axe was delivered quickly and I am impressed with the quality and weight. It feels nicely in my hand and as a carpenter of over 40 years, it swings nicely. I look forward to using it on outdoor adventures.

I’m so glad I found this. My husband has wanted one. I can’t wait to see how it does on skinning a deer. He absolutely loves it! Great craftsmanship and also love that the initials of the person who made it is on it as well, very neat!

Is it worth the money I think so. Would a cheaper work as good no idea. But this is a great company have a few of there axes.
