Forestry Axes

Gränsfors Forestry Axes are made to be used for everything from felling large trees to limbing small logs. The distinguishing feature of Forestry Axes is a long, rounded edge, with a flat elongated axe head.

Specially designed to cut across the grain of the wood fibers, for example when felling, limbing and chopping, in contrast to log splitting, where the axe travels parallel to the wood grain.

Each Forestry axe is designed to suit a specific function, and many of the models have been developed in collaboration with specialists and professionals. Hunters, forest workers, fishermen, hikers and survival experts have all had their input into the product development of these axes.

Gränsfors Bruk Forestry Axes come in different sizes, with a range of axe heads and handles. The smallest, the Gränsfors Mini Hatchet, is only 10.5 inches and weighs 0.75 lbs. This axe can be used as a filleting knife, as it has an extremely thin edge.

The largest – the American Felling axe – at 31 inches and 4.75lbs is the perfect choice for professionals in the forest industry. Each Forestry Axe has a different function according to its form and the best choice of Forestry Axe depends entirely on what you want to use it for.
