The Gränsfors Bruk Small Carving Axe is a precision-crafted tool designed for woodcarving and sloyd, offering exceptional control in a compact, lightweight package. Hand-forged in Sweden from recycled steel since 1902, this axe features a long, curved cutting edge ideal for detailed shaping work. At just 640g with a 28.5cm hickory handle, it's perfectly suited for beginners and experienced carvers alike who value a lighter tool that can be used comfortably over extended carving sessions. Originally developed with master craftsmen Wille Sundqvist and Onni Linnanheimo — but scaled to approximately 80% of the original size, this axe delivers the same trusted design heritage in a more manoeuvrable form. It comes complete with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath and the Gränsfors Bruk axe book. Every Gränsfors Bruk axe is hand-forged at the forge in Gränsfors, Sweden, continuing a tradition that dates back to 1902. The axe head is crafted from recycled steel, the handle from sustainably sourced hickory, and the included sheath from vegetable-tanned leather. Length: 28,5 cm Weight: 640 kg
