Gränsfors Bruks Swedish Carving Axe  We have finally met an axe we like.. We have made axes over the years and this is rival to any we could make. So we thought why don't we sell them. The Carving Axe is designed for hewing bowls and other wooden objects, artistic wood carving and architectural work. The design is based on old Swedish techniques and we have been amazed at the overall grip, feel and power behind the tool. The axe is hand forged, has a 4 1/3" face and a 14" hickory handle and the head weighs 2 lbs. It also comes with the leather sheath and axe book. We have added our touch with the edge geometry and final sharpening and comes with a 20 year Guarantee.
