NEW! Now available in a shorter 27" / 700mm handle length

The Gränsfors Bruk Splitting Maul is a substantial, powerful splitting maul designed for those challenging firewood pieces that need a bit more persuasion. With its specialised design, it can effortlessly split apart large and resistant firewood rounds. True to Gränsfors Bruk’s commitment to quality, even the splitting maul has a thin cutting edge to initiate the split, while the concave cheeks do the rest.

This maul isn’t just for splitting wood though. Its poll is constructed to pound on a steel wedge, effectively replacing the need for a separate sledgehammer.

Specifications:

• Weight & Edge: Weighs in at a sturdy 3.2kgs (7lbs) with a 65mm (2 1/2") cutting edge for efficient splitting.
• Handle: the maul now comes with two handle variations  
  • A straight 790mm (31.5") American hickory handle, complete with circular grooves at its end to ensure a secure grip.
  • A curved 700mm (27 1/2") American hickory handle, complete with circular grooves at its end to ensure a secure grip.
• Safety Feature: It includes a steel collar guard situated below the head to minimise damage from over-shoot.
• Extras: The maul comes packaged with a grain leather sheath, Gränsfors Bruk Axe Book, and boasts a twenty-year forging guarantee.
• Recommended maintenance: The Gränsfors Bruk Axe Stone ensures your maul remains sharp and efficient.
