New Gränsfors Bruk Carving Axes: The Family is Complete

The wait is finally over! For years, the Large Swedish Carving Axe was the top choice for woodworkers. However, every project is different, and sometimes you simply need a lighter touch.

As a result, we are thrilled to announce that the new Small and Medium carving axes are officially on their way. We are official retailers for Gränsfors Bruk, and you can secure yours online right now.

Find the Right Fit

These axes are not just smaller tools. Instead, they are precision-engineered for better balance and control.

  • The Small Carving Axe (471): This tool is light and very easy to move. Specifically, it is 80% the size of the large axe, making it perfect for small hands or fine spoon carving.

Hand-forged Gränsfors Small Carving Axe with its vegetable-tanned leather sheath, ideal for sloyd and spoon carving.

The Official Package

As an authorised stockist, we ensure you get the real deal. In addition to the hand-forged quality, every axe head is stamped with the smith’s own initials.

Your axe arrives as a complete kit, including:

  • A Leather Sheath: Crafted from vegetable-tanned leather to protect the razor-sharp edge.

  • The Axe Book: Additionally, you get a guide to carving, sharpening, and heritage.

  • 20-Year Guarantee: Consequently, you have peace of mind knowing these tools are built to last for decades.

Order Now

These axes are in high demand across Australia. Because they are forged by hand, stock is always limited. Therefore, we recommend ordering today to ensure you don’t miss out on this shipment.

If you want to order an asymmetrical grind in any of the carving models, email me and I’ll get it in for you!

Not sure which axe to get? I’ll be posting my own review soon but in the meantime here is a great indepth review from Woodsmith who have been using the axes for several months ahead of their release.

The Axes will be in store next week (end of April 2026) so you can check them out in person.
