The Gransfors Splitting Axe is a fantastic tool and impeccably made, you can confidently split wood knowing that with its reinforced collar this axe is going to last.
Gransfors is probably the Worlds most popular Axe manufacturer and for good reason. Each axe is handmade of exceptional quality materials and stamped with the makers mark.
This can be managed with one hand. Forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit. This design helps the axe to go fast into the wood - and then split efficiently when the thicker part hits and pushes apart the wood. The poll of this axe, like the poll on most axes, is not designed for pounding on a wedge.
The head weighs 1.6kg. The face is 2 1/2". The 20" hickory handle has circular grooves at the grip and steel collar near the head. It comes with a grain-leather sheath and a copy of the Gransfors Axe Book.
