Gransfors Bruks, American Felling Axe, Straight Handle 31"

Gränsfors AMERICAN FELLING AXE - a professional axe for those who want to work in the forest in the traditional way. The axe is ideal for felling very large trees, thanks to its long, broad edge of 4½”. It's the 31" (79cm) STRAIGHT HANDLE version (MPN: 434-3) - forged to a curved bit, making it suitable for cutting into fresh, resinous wood such as spruce or pine. The heavy head and long handle also give considerable power to the cut. The axe is almost twice as heavy as the Scandinavian Forest Axe (430). Cutting Edge: 4½" (115mm), Head Weight: 3.3 lb (1.5 kg), Weight with Handle: 5.3 lb (2.4 kg) Length with Handle 31” (79cm) Comes with a full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather sheath and Gransfors Bruks "The Axe Book". Backed by a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty. PLEASE NOTE: In March 2017 Gransfors announced that they abandon the steel wedge on all their axes (with the exception of Splitting Axes for now). Please see the full announcement in one of the images to the left.
