The Gränsfors Small Hatchet is the lightest of all the axes from Gränsfors Bruk, making it perfect for hiking, when every kilo counts. The axe is excellent for limbing and splitting firewood, despite its diminutive size. The Small Hatchet was developed by Lennart Pettersson (LP), axe smith, knife smith and keen angler, who was looking to create a very light axe that still retained that axe feel. The slightly rounded poll functions like a ‘priest’ (used to hit fish over the head).
The axe is delivered with a sheath.
Forged in Sweden, all Gränsfors Bruk axes have the initials of the craftsperson who made the axe, as well as a massive 20 year warranty against material defect.
These are the axes we prefer for the majority of carving tasks on our courses. The light weight head and reasonable handle length make light work of carving Kuksas and spoons, while offering the possibility of felling and limbing small trees.
Total Length: 26cm
Total Weight: 0.3kg (0.7lbs)
