The Granfors Small Forest Axe is one of my favourites. The light and small axe is very versatile without being too bulky or too small/weak.
This demonstration is not to show you how you should chop wood but give you an idea about the splitting power of the Small Forest Axe.

The Gränsfors Small Forest Axe has a larger head and a longer handle than the Wildlife Hatchet and therefore provides more chopping power. However, it is still small enough to fit into a rucksack. The Small Forest Axe is excellent for felling trees and limbing.

Length with handle: 49 cm (19”)
Weight: 0,9 kg (2 lb)
Sheath in vegetable-tanned leather

Gränsfors Forest Axes are made to be used in the forest for everything from felling large trees to limbing small logs. The distinguishing feature of Forest Axes is a long, rounded edge, with a flat elongated axe head. Forest Axes are specially designed to cut across the grain of the wood fibres, for example when felling and limbing, in contrast to log splitting, where the axe goes along the grain of the wood fibres.

The various Forest Axes are designed to suit a specific function, and many of the models have been developed in collaboration with specialists and professionals. Hunters, forest workers, fishermen, hikers and survival experts have all had their input into the product development of these axes.

Gränsfors Forest Axes come in different sizes, with a range of axe heads and handle. The smallest, the Gränsfors Mini Hatchet, is only 26 cm long and weighs 0.3 kg. This axe can almost be used as a filleting knife, as it has an extremely thin edge. The largest, the American Felling axe, is 90 cm long and weighs in at 2.2 kg. This is used to fell really big trees. The choice of Forest Axe depends entirely on what you want to use it for.

All Forest Axes come with a sheath of vegetable-tanned leather and a copy of The Axe Book.
