These hand forged axes from Sweden are commonly thought to be the finest axes available. Each professionally forged axe head bears the smith’s initials. The heads are tempered Swedish steel and the handles are American hickory -- long known to be the finest wood for tool handles. Each axe comes with leather sheath; an axe book that describes the forging, maintenance, and use of the axe; and a 20 year guarantee from Gränsfors Bruks.

The prices have recently increased substantially due to the weakness of the dollar which has fallen about 30% against the Swedish Crown 5 and the rising costs of hand forging.

FREE: When you order from us, we will stamp up to three initials on the handle and the leather sheath. Please tell us what initials you would like.

We accept VISA/MC over the phone or PayPal directly to our email. Call 802-897-5141 to place an order. For discounts on shipping large orders, please call us. Shipping is $11-18 per axe by UPS Ground. All orders will be charged 6% sales tax. 

CAUTION:
These axes are VERY SHARP. Handle with care. Please always resheath your axe.
