At Gransfors Bruks, the forging craft is allowed to take its time. The Gransfors smiths are not paid by the piece, but are rewarded for taking the necessary time and care to forge the best axe possible.
You will see from the axe-heads that no supplementary work,such as grinding or painting, is necessary, because no forging mistakes will make it through to a finished axe.The Gransfors smiths have nothing to hide, and are rightly proud of their professional standards. When they are satisfied with their work, they stamp their own initials on the axe head, alongside the Gransfors Crown logo.

PARTS OF THE AXE
Old traditions are adapted to today’s demands. Most of the handles of Gransfors Bruks axes have a unique ergonomic design which gives them a steady grip around the handle. All handles are made of selected high quality (prima) American hickory. Fibreglass handles are stronger than hickory handles but we believe that wooden handles are more ecological. Gransfors Bruks handles are soaked in hot linseed oil and dripped dry. They are then covered in beeswax to help keep the dirt off.
