Introducing the Gränsfors Bruk Small Hatchet - a compact and lightweight axe that is more than just a cutting tool. Originally conceptualised by former Gränsfors Bruk axesmith Lennart Pettersson (LP), this hatchet was designed with the needs of a fisherman in mind, with the slightly rounded poll acting as a 'priest' (used to hit fish over the head). However, its versatility extends far beyond just fishing. It's an ideal companion for carving, crafting, and even some simple bushcraft tasks - great to take with you hiking!

About Gränsfors Bruk:
For more than 100 years, Gränsfors Bruk AB has built a business upon handcrafted axes and axe expertise, with a focus on quality and environmental responsibility. When it comes to the quality and feel of the axes, this is reflected in the experience and skill of the individual craftsman. Each axe is signed with the smith’s initials as a guarantee of quality.
The company is located in the Swedish village of Gränsfors in northern Hälsingland. The forge sits at the heart of the village and you can hear the rhythmic pounding as you approach, a sound we always take pleasure from when we visit!
We are lucky to be one of the few retailers of Gränsfors Bruk axes in the UK, which has been based on a long standing relationship between our small family business and their forge. We like to think that our close ties to the forge and the alignment in ethos between our two companies make us a knowledgeable, premium purveyor of their world class tools.
