![]() ![]() The head of the Splitting Maul has a different shape, with a rather longer and heavier poll with beveled corners. The three smaller axes are all similar in design, differing only in the weight of the head and the length of the handle. There is also a Splitting Wedge for use with the Splitting Maul. The Gränsfors Splitting Axes come in four sizes: the Splitting Hatchet, the Small Splitting Axe, the Large Splitting Axe and the Splitting Maul. The handle is also grooved towards the end for an extra firm grip. All Gränsfors Splitting Axes come with a metal collar to protect the handle. When splitting wood, the handle is put under great strain at the axe head, as the handle can easily hit the log being split. The handle shape we use was developed in 1935 through intensive practical testing by the former IFFA Institute for forestal work science. Its unique design also means that the axe head does not stick as easily in the wood, as would happen with a slimmer axe head. ![]() The concave shape of the Splitting Axes ensures that the edge goes quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. The axes are made to chop along the grain of the wood fibers, in contrast to Forestry Axes, which are made to cut across the grain of the wood fibers. The axes have a large and heavy head that is forged and ground into a concave shape with a relatively thin edge. Gränsfors Splitting Axes are specially crafted to split wood. The choice of Forestry Axe depends entirely on what you want to use it for. The largest, the American Felling axe, is 90 cm long and weighs in at 2.2 kg. ![]() This axe can almost be used as a filleting knife, as it has an extremely thin edge. The smallest, the Gränsfors Mini Hatchet, is only 26 cm long and weighs 0.3 kg. Gränsfors Forestry Axes come in different sizes, with a range of axe heads and handle. Hunters, forest workers, fishermen, hikers and survival experts have all had their input into the product development of these axes. The various Forestry Axes are designed to suit a specific function, and many of the models have been developed in collaboration with specialists and professionals. The distinguishing feature of Forestry Axes is a long, rounded edge, with a flat elongated axe head.įorestry Axes are specially designed to cut across the grain of the wood fibers, for example when felling and limbing, in contrast to log splitting, where the axe goes along the grain of the wood fibers. Gränsfors Forestry Axes are made to be used in the forest for everything from felling large trees to limbing small logs. ![]()
