A long hickory handle and a curved bit turn that weight into cutting force; your job is to place the swing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Curved Bit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bit is forged to a 4.5\" curve, so the edge enters the wood at an angle and releases cleanly between strokes. This geometry was developed for cutting into fresh, resinous wood like spruce and pine, where the grain runs tight, and the wood is dense.

In 1990, the forge won the Ecological Design Prize from Svensk Form and the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation. The American Felling Axe is a product of that shift — it ships with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath and the Gränsfors axe book, backed by a 20-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the tree to the hearth, browse the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bloomist.com\/collections\/outdoor-fireplaces\" title=\"Outdoor Fireplaces\"\u003eOutdoor Fireplaces collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gränsfors Bruk AB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47896570724537,"sku":"99000196","price":451.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0051\/8373\/3878\/files\/American-Felling-Axe-1-90cm-curved.jpg?v=1782996764","url":"https:\/\/bloomist.com\/en-ca\/products\/gransfors-bruk-american-felling-axe","provider":"Bloomist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
