The Gränsfors Bruk Large Splitting Axe is hand-forged in the Swedish village of Gränsfors, where traditional smithing techniques have been passed down for over 100 years. Each head is made from recycled scrap carbon steel and stamped with the initials of the individual who forged it—a quiet mark of quality, authenticity, and tradition. Built for powerful, efficient firewood splitting, the axe carries a legacy of practical design, durable materials, and quiet, thoughtful craftsmanship—values Bloomist holds close.
This heirloom-quality axe features a concave, thin blade that bites deeply into the wood before the broader head drives it apart—ideal for splitting seasoned or green firewood. The curved handle is made from hickory, known as the ideal wood for axes due to its strength, flexibility, and long, parallel grain. The handle is treated with hot linseed oil and beeswax and fitted with a protective steel collar to reinforce the neck during use. Circular grooves near the base offer a more secure grip, even in wet or gloved hands. Each axe comes with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath and a care booklet that shares the story and philosophy behind Gränsfors Bruk.
Long and powerful, the Gränsfors Bruk Large Splitting Axe delivers substantial force without sacrificing control. It's the ideal tool for preparing firewood at home, the cabin, or anywhere life slows down and the warmth comes from your own effort. A rugged, reliable companion for those who appreciate the grounding rhythm of wood-splitting and the enduring integrity of tools built to last. Backed by a 20-year warranty, this is a tool built to endure and meant to be passed down for generations.
Splitting axes should not be used for striking a wedge or as a wedge. Only the Splitting Maul is designed for this.
