The Gränsfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet is a classic in its category - a small, lightweight, and exceptionally balanced axe. Though designed primarily as a compact camping or bushcraft axe, its fine and thin bit extends its capabilities to carving work. Its utility isn't just restricted to camping; take it along in your rucksack for various tasks like felling small trees, snedding, or splitting kindling out in the woods. Its unique design with long, gently convex bevels, ground to a precise 20 degrees, also marks it as an excellent choice for enthusiasts of spoon carving. This axe shared the same head as the Gränsfors Bruk Large Carving Hatchet (double-sided ground) and the Gränsfors Bruk Hand Hatchet.
Specifications:
- Head: Weighs 600 grams (1lb) with a cutting edge of 75mm (3").
- Handle: Crafted from American hickory, the handle stretches 340mm (13 1/2") and boasts a smooth finish that's been lightly oiled for added protection.
- Sheath: Every axe comes with a standard Gränsfors Bruk vegetable tanned leather sheath. However, an upgrade option is available: the Woodsmith Premium Sheath. Hand-stitched and constructed from 3.2mm vegetable-tanned leather, this top-loading sheath adds a touch of luxury and enhanced protection to your hatchet.
- Extras: As with all Gränsfors Bruk axes, the Wildlife Hatchet comes with the informative Axe Book and carries a 20-year forging guarantee on the head.
