Gransfors Bruk Axes Guide | Which axe should you buy?

Can you show the axe from the top down?

Was after a gransfors in NZ and you helped me obtain a small forest axe. Great for around the campsite and simply for its looks and build quality. 👌

the large splitting axe can split anything, i do it all the time. it’s quiet easy!
the scandinavian axe can chop down big trees, i do it all the time. it’s literally the best all around axe you can have. i can do everything w/ it.

Agree , Swedish axes are the best in the world, since over 1000 yrs agå.

Excellent

Hydraulic log splitters are for sissies

Scandinavian works phenomenal for me.

- Light enough for me to de-limb whole trees without getting tired;

-Powerful enough to cut off big branches in one blow and to quickly fell small to medium-sized trees. Its power comes from its light head and its reasonably long handle, which helps the head travel very fast by the time it impacts the wood (kinetic energy rises proportionally to the object's mass but to the square of its velocity).

-Sharp enough to split even though its head is very thin (even if it doesn't have a lot of mass, it penetrates so deep into the wood thanks to its sharpness that it opens it up anyways).

I keep it around my camp so portability is not an issue. If I were more of a backpacker I'd get the Small Forest Axe. If I were stronger or if my cutting sessions weren't as long I'd get the American Felling Axe.

Come on Tom, what self respecting axe man wouldn't want them ALL😂❤. Covet and Collect. 😊

I just bought the one that you don't have, the American Felling axe. I also have the outdoor axe, I carry both in my pack.

The splitting maul is an absolute delight to use. My tip: forego a splitting wedge and have a sledge on hand. Extremely formidable combination. The driest, knott-iest Australian hard woods have succumbed to this combo. Love it so much.

Is there a video on the American felling axe?

Very well done vid! Im in the market for a quality Gransfors backpack axe/hatchet. Thanks guys 👍👍👍

Thanks for this video!

I have a few of these axes. The Outdoor Axe really is a specialist axe for small work in place of a machete and craft knife but is a beautiful piece. The small forest axe is an amazing all rounder that will go in a back pack and do a lot of work at a camp.

The splitting axes and mauls are on back order anyone have an idea on lead times?

Great video and easy to understand breakdown of the purposes behind each of these awesome axes. I've wanted one for a long time, and this really helps determine which axe works best for me. 😎👊

Thank you so much for sharing this video. Valuable informations on the use of Splitting and Forest (Chopping) ax. I am into carving so I bought the Wildlife and Hand Hatchets.

Great well made and inspirational video!

Great description of the range.

Vote for the Small Splitting Axe - brilliant for around the house, processing kindling and also for camping in breaking down the larger, already broken down logs. Also fits nicely into the car.

I've got a splitting hatchet and a small hatchet that I take with me whenever I go to the woods to have a barbecue.
The splitting hatchet makes easy work of anything uo to about 6 inches in diameter and below 4 inches in diameter you barely feel any resistance.
The small hatchet is an absolute darling for making kindling out of bigger pieces of wood.
