Gränsfors and Hultafors axes are renowned for their craftsmanship, durability, and performance. Hand-forged in Sweden with sustainably sourced materials, each axe delivers superior sharpness, balance, and reliability. Perfect for felling, carving, or splitting, setting the standard for premium axes.
I've been carving spoons for a while using a standard hatchet and later a carpenter's axe. Recently, I decided to invest in a dedicated carving axe.
Axeman was about to go on holiday, but he still answered my questions almost immediately and even sent me a photo of the exact axe he was shipping. Once I submitted payment, he had it in the mail the very same day.
Needless to say, the axe is exactly what I was hoping for. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and it's a pleasure to use. If you've never used a proper carving axe before, all I can say is that it's a game changer.
I didn't want to buy a cheap carving axe, but I also couldn't justify spending boutique prices. This strikes the perfect balance. It arrived razor sharp and is easy to maintain with a quick strop.
Five stars for Axeman and Gränsfors Bruk. Highly recommended.
The axe is AWESOME! Took a day to arrive as suggested and the first time I used it I put a small chip in the edge and got to practice sharpening it!? :).
Most excellent service.
Great fit with a little sanding.
one saw for survival, light, easy to use, one hand.... and this is it!
Tormek T-8 Original
Ordered a 3.5 lb jersey pattern axe with the 32 inch handle, beautiful little everything axe and nice grain orientation on the handle ! Thank you very much to Jeremy and the team from Axeman .
Great axe and great customer service 👍
I find the service second to none. The jig is an integral part of the system for sharpening turning gouges. I am now able to easily replicate my grinds on the Tormek because of the multi jig.
Always a pleasure buying from axeman. Quick to respond and always helpful.
Love this axe. Big chonky handle but, if you’ve watched any hults bruk reviews, you already know that. Took off a couple millimetres with a camp knife and it feels better. I still reach for the boy’s axe first but it’s nice to have a full size felling axe available when you need it. This is a nice one.
Super fast shipping, sweet sticker. Great canadian company to buy from.
Super fast shipping and a sweet sticker. Great canadian store to buy from!
As a member of a provincial search and rescue team and an avid backpacker. I found the Åby Forest Axe to be an invaluable piece of equipment for back country search and rescue operations and an ideal companion for backpacking trips in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Light, efficient and effective axe that I will always have with me.
We gave this to Father Mark Goring as he left to Montreal. When he opened it he said "This is the manliest gift I have ever received!"
Great axe.
Much smoother then the leather wheel and thicker which makes it possible to hone my bent knives on the topside.
Leaves a sharp clean edge and no mess. The shipping service is quick.
