Product Description
The Gransfors Wildlife Hatchet is a traditional scouting and camping axe, with the same head as the Hand Hatchet but on a longer handle. This longer handle lends the axe more power, not least when felling trees. Practical for carrying in your rucksack when you need a small axe with plenty of power. The axe is capable of lopping off quite large branches or splitting small logs for the campfire. The shape of the sheath, which covers the edge and the top part of the poll, stops the axe head cutting into your rucksack. The Axe Book comes with every axe purchased from Gransfors Bruk, Made in Sweden.

I help my brother outside with cutting wood, etc...and it's extremely comfortable to hold and use, not too heavy or clumsy. I'm 5'8" 130 lbs female and it fits great in my hands, and just as well for my brother who is 6'2" 200 lbs. Truly unisex. Even the 24" GB is comfortable for me to use, the heads look like they'd be heavy but they're really not heavy at all for what they are.
Highly recommend this for smaller jobs, and the 24" GB (Scandinavian Forest Axe) to go along with it for the bigger jobs. The leather cover they send in the box is a bit cheap but I do appreciate the effort to send it with something besides cardboard to cover the bit.
"Review Outdoor Gear" on Amazon marketplace sells spectacular leather covers if you're looking for something better than the stock stuff. I bought their leather axe collars and axe sheaths and both are fantastic quality & craftsmanship. I only go to them for these things. Will be buying a sheath for this GB as well if they have it.
I often find myself creating more firewood than necessary because I just have such a good time using this little hatchet. Speaking of "little", this hatchet is pretty small. I use this hatchet when I'm trying to keep weight down for long backpacking trips. If you plan on splitting larger pieces of wood or work with hardwoods more often than not, I would recommend Granfors Bruks Small Forest Axe.
All and all I highly recommend this hatchet. You won't regret the purchase and you'll have a tool that you'll love using and can last a lifetime if cared for properly.

They're expensive, yes. But if you're the type who appreciates quality tools, is looking for a lifetime purchase, and subscribes to "buy once, cry once" you'll be more than satisfied with this hatchet. If not, you'll never be happy due to the high price tag.
My hatchet arrived very nicely finished with no mill scale and a nicely sharpened edge. I unsnapped the sheath, gave it a few licks on a strop, and shaved hair off my arm no problem. The wood handle is executed well and the leather sheath is useful and unobtrusive. It feels nice in the hand and balances well. It's the kind of item that hasn't changed for a hundred years and there's a good reason for that.
I highly recommend this hatchet. Very rarely is such a simple item so well made and so beautifully executed.
1) Made of excellent high-quality materials to last over the years to be passed down.
2) Build to withstand the punishment of work that I would be placing it through, including during deer season.
3) Was balanced well-enough that wouldn't over-tire my hand with and without a glove.
I have to say...this hatchet is the BEST hatchet that I've ever owned for the price! I've absolutely put this hatchet through the wringer while clearing our land this summer while clear limbs and cutting huge branches while hanging deer stands up in trees.
Anytime I'm out on my property, I have this hatchet with me...ALWAYS! - (I only wish that the company made a leather carrying case for my belt. So, I'm making on my own at present.)
The quality of axe head and the wooden handle is solid with the Makers Mark in the axe head with his/her initials stamped on it! - they stand behind their product.
I'm looking forward in additional axe purchases from this company. Thus far, I'm SUPER IMPRESSED with this small but BEAST of a HATCHET! - Lance H./Homesteader in Oklahoma
