This axe embodies Gränsfors Bruk's renowned dedication to quality, functionality, and sustainable craftsmanship, making it an indispensable companion for bushcraft, camping, and trail maintenance.

Weighing in at a manageable 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs) with a 35 cm (13.8 inches) handle, the GB 425 strikes the perfect balance between portability and chopping efficiency. Its relatively short handle allows for precise control during intricate tasks such as carving and preparing kindling, while the expertly shaped head delivers surprising power for splitting small logs and clearing brush.

Forged from high-quality Swedish steel, the axe head is hand-hammered to achieve optimal strength and durability. The thin, sharp bit is specifically designed for efficient cutting, biting deeply into wood with each swing. The poll is also hardened and can be used for hammering tent pegs or light splitting tasks, adding to the axe's versatility in the field.

The handle is crafted from carefully selected, straight-grained hickory, providing a comfortable and secure grip. Its ergonomic design reduces fatigue during extended use, and the traditional linseed oil finish protects the wood while enhancing its natural beauty. Each axe comes with a sturdy leather sheath, handcrafted to safeguard the blade during transport and storage. ¹
