Description

A fantastic 3/4-length Hudson Bay-style canoe camping axe that can do it all. 25" handle. 2.5 lb. head. Leather sheath included.

A note regarding Axe Handles:  It is important to keep your axe handle well protected from the effects of moisture, excessive dryness and temperature extremes.  Routine axe handle maintenance should include periodic use of any product marked suitable for unconditioned wood. Howard’s Feed N Wax, (a mix of beeswax and orange oil), Boiled Linseed Oil, even traditional Paste Wax, are excellent products with which to treat your axe handle.  These products are not expensive and routinely available at most hardware stores.  Periodically conditioning your axe handle will significantly negate any opportunity for the wood grain to contract.  Such contraction when left unchecked, allows an axe head to become loose on its handle.

Should you notice your axe head seeming loose without apparent cause, soaking the entire head overnight in Boiled Linseed Oil, will in most cases allow the wood grain inside the eye fitting to hydrate and expand.  This should provide a long-lasting solution.

Axe handles are a natural material and may vary in color.

Scandinavian forest axe
Gransfors bruk is perhaps the finest maker of axes on the planet. One of I believe two axe makers who hand forge their axes. Check out youtube videos made by the company for more info on the how they are made and the care and quality control which goes into every axe.

I love this axe for its aesthetic and of course for the name, and I found it very comfortable to use out of the box without having to thin the handle at all. That said, the bit is very convex with some fat cheeks and could use some thinning. Yes the very edge is nice and sharp, but for good cuts you will still want to thin the cheeks down. If you are looking to do more than the occasional limbing or cutting up kindling, I would recommend looking at a different style of axe. The head is extremely light and it lacks the punch to really do any kind of heavier work, and it is also pretty narrow in length. For a more all purpose axe I am finding a 2-2.5 lb head works really well (a recommendation I received and can verify is legitimate). I do love it, but it's definitely not the axe I take with me on most trips.
