The Gränsfors Broad Axe model 1900 has a traditional design and is suitable for squaring logs and planks, for example when building a log house. Broad Axes vary greatly depending on the shape of the head and edge and the angle of the handle.
This version is ground on both sides of the edge (knife grind).
The double-sided Broad Axe is often used for making joints, but also for all sorts of timber and plank hewing.
The handle is angled to the left & is most commonly chosen by left-handed users.
With an angled handle, the handle and your hands remain at a distance from the timber, thereby minimising the risk of personal injury.
All Gransfors tools come to you sharp, with a leather sheath and an Axe Book, which provides a fascinating history of the company and details of tools in their range.
This tool should not be bought by, or for, anyone under 18 years old.
