The Gränsfors Bruk American Felling Axe is designed for professionals with a passion for traditional forestry. Ideal for taking down medium to large trees, its expansive 11.5cm edge cuts with authority. Specifically crafted with a curved bit, this axe excels in slicing through fresh, resinous woods like spruce and pine. Combining a robust head with an extended handle, it delivers powerful, precise cuts. Notably, it has nearly double the weight of the Scandinavian Forest Axe.
