Review: Possibly the greatest carving axe ever devised. - The only way I can describe this axe is otherworldly. I’m an ok carver. I’ve converted box box store hatchets into razor sharp carvers. But in this circumstance you will get what you pay for. Shave sharp out of the box, perfect grain orientation on the haft, it exudes control, power, skill and shows the craftsmanship that is synonymous with the Gränsfors Bruk company. The price is steep. Not for the “gee I’ll try carving” crowd. There’s lots of less expensive axes out there if your just testing the waters. However, if you are like me, and you tried it, fell in love, became addicted, and now have to carve at least once a day because you see it for the beautifully simple and elegant skill and craft that it is.... then I beg you, get your money together and purchase this axe. The warranty is exceptional, it comes with a book to teach everything you need to know about these god-like tools. Normally I struggle a touch with my axe work, chopped out a serving spoon blank in 20 minutes, and people familiar with my work thought I had already taken my mora 106 to it. The cuts and control are so fine and precise, and the weight of the axe is a non issue for me. Many people think it’s too heavy, I have had no issue with it. In the words of the Vikings of the 13th Warrior, grow stronger if you cannot swing it. Long and short, just buy the axe. You will not be disappointed.
Review: It really is a powerhouse at slicing through wood and reducing material. - I've used it quite a lot in the past several months since I bought it, and once one gets a feel for using it, it is a quite awesome tool. I've used it mostly for preparing spoon blanks, and staves, but also for making post stakes for fencing in trees I plant, in fitting pieces for free-form construction projects of garden structures mostly, and also as one of the primary tools I used in shaping the components for a "shave-horse" I made with entirely hand tools, and the only power tools being a drill driver. I've also contemplated If it would be useful for shaping the outside of a dugout canoe, but haven't tried that yet. So It has a diverse range of applications it is not explicitly for one thing (lest carving on a broad scale), but it is by no means an "all in one" tool, its to big to be used for many more finite applications, but along with another smaller hatchet and/or large knife, I think it's better to have than an "all in one" axe. It really is a powerhouse at slicing through wood and reducing material.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which side is the grind on? Right? Left? Double bevel?**
A: This axe has a double bevel, slightly steeper on the left than the right. Cuts like a dream.

**Q: I am looking for size small of this axe.  It weights 1.5 lbs instead of 2+ lbs.  Do you carry the smaller size?**
A: You could mean the GB Hand Hatchet #413 that is also designed for woodworking ALSO ... The Mini Hatchet #410 or the Wildlife hatchet #415 ARE good canidates (none of which we have in stock right now, but hope to have more in a month or 2. VERY LIMITED SUPPLY & STILL SKY HIGH DEMAND.Best!AlexSwedishAx

**Q: what kind of steel?**
A: "Gransfors steel does not have a grade number, it is a proprietary steel made for them.It is a plain carbon steel very close to 1055 or EN9, for sure 0.55% Carbon.

**Q: Can this be used as a multi-purpose tool to also fell small trees, buck up, and split small firewood, without ruining the edge for carving?**
A: Expensive tool for splitting firewood, it is designed for carving functions. As my father would say..."you need the right tool for the job". I recommend investing in two, one for carving and one for your firewood/tree clearing duties.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jewel in my tool box!
*by D***Y on October 3, 2019*

I received the carving hatchet well before the date cited for delivery and I am very pleased with it. The edge came very sharp and ready to use and the handle orientation is spot on the only thing I did was sand with 120 paper for less than two minutes to take the fuzzies off. It takes a little getting used to compared to other hatchets but I love the way it feels in my hand and does a superb job getting blanks ready be it spoon, bowl or anything else I am working on. This is a jewel in my tool box, I wished all my tools looked and worked this well!
