Whilst originally designed for the Scandinavian hunter, the Gränsfors Bruk Hunter's Axe is not just for the likes of deer and elk hunting but stands alone as an excellent all-round tool with versatile functionality.
In many ways similar to the Small Forest Axe, but uniquely, the rounded ‘flay poll’ is polished, for use when skinning an animal (an axe with an ordinary straight poll with sharper corners can easily damage the hide). The grip of the handle also has circular grooves which give a steady grip, even if your hands are wet or sticky.
Included with the Hunter's Axe is a vegetable tanned sheath and the famous Gränsfors Bruk Axe Book.
As with all Gränsfors Bruk axes, as a mark of quality, the head is stamped with the initials of the axe smith who carefully forged the head. The head is guaranteed for 20 years.
