Granfors Small Forest Axe Splitting wood
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The Granfors Small Forest Axe is one of my favourites. The light and small axe is very versatile without being too bulky or too small/weak.
This demonstration is not to show you how you should chop wood but give you an idea about the splitting power of the Small Forest Axe.
The Gränsfors Small Forest Axe has a larger head and a longer handle than the Wildlife Hatchet and therefore provides more chopping power. However, it is still small enough to fit into a rucksack. The Small Forest Axe is excellent for felling trees and limbing.
Length with handle: 49 cm (19”)
Weight: 0,9 kg (2 lb)
Sheath in vegetable-tanned leather
Gränsfors Forest Axes are made to be used in the forest for everything from felling large trees to limbing small logs. The distinguishing feature of Forest Axes is a long, rounded edge, with a flat elongated axe head. Forest Axes are specially designed to cut across the grain of the wood fibres, for example when felling and limbing, in contrast to log splitting, where the axe goes along the grain of the wood fibres.
The various Forest Axes are designed to suit a specific function, and many of the models have been developed in collaboration with specialists and professionals. Hunters, forest workers, fishermen, hikers and survival experts have all had their input into the product development of these axes.
Gränsfors Forest Axes come in different sizes, with a range of axe heads and handle. The smallest, the Gränsfors Mini Hatchet, is only 26 cm long and weighs 0.3 kg. This axe can almost be used as a filleting knife, as it has an extremely thin edge. The largest, the American Felling axe, is 90 cm long and weighs in at 2.2 kg. This is used to fell really big trees. The choice of Forest Axe depends entirely on what you want to use it for.
All Forest Axes come with a sheath of vegetable-tanned leather and a copy of The Axe Book.

Ow how time flies young brothers... i bought this axe 8 years ago after this video still use it 6 months of the year for firewood
Just bought one of these on Amazon. Can't wait for it to arrive
I like that you split hardwood instead of pine. Most of the GB tests are on conifers and other soft woods.
read the Axe book when the log doesn't split. turn it upsidedown and use the weight of the log against the ax to split it
great video and axe work.. though mickey called and said he wanted his sweater back, big guy..

Where can I buy a smedium hoodie like that?
That's very cool! Thumbs up and Greetings from Ireland :)
ziet er geweldig uit!
I think this axe can do even more more than this little peaces of wood
Well it was at least shaving sharp when you started, I doubt you splitting oak in the winter made it sharper!
Do you sharpen your axe on the whetstones as well?

I made it myself with a piece of leather and leather cordage. it's not to hard to make and it looks better than paracord in my opinion.

there is a bunny behind you at the end!
Say Heah Guys, Yeah, A wonderful Axe/Hatchet. Yet It's big enough to carry on person even in cold weather. Ofcource it's not in the class that my Ochencopf Axe is already equiped with a steel over strike sleve and steel plate over the eye screwed into the handle for added strength. It's a European Style, But at a 2.9 lbs. head and a 27" handle it's in a heavier class than the S. F. A. It's our camp axe. in cold weather. But I have a little more compact axe that I can easily carry on person, The 1 3/4 lbs. head is a little heavier so it has a little more kick for it's 17" handle, It's my Hultafors Bruks Agdor, Yeah, it's my Bush Craft Hatchet. I also have a Lite Carry 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet that's very pleasant to carry in a Trio. Plus my G. B. Small Forest Axe which you did a good representation on it, Thanx You.,,.
big ass knife or small axe? that is the question...
Great axes, wetterlings is slightly better though.

What makes wetterlings better?
Oak is kind of a misleading term. Everybody thinks that since oak is a one of the strongest types od wood, will be difficult to split. Nothing more wrong, due to its poor tendency to yield, it fractures very fast fiberwise. Very often, much more difficult to split will be a pine or spruce, because they’re flexible and resinous.
Instructions unclear - i'm not swoll enough.

Bro if you can have a freakin chainsaw there, why not a proper splitting axe too? Heck even a Fiskars hatchet like x11 would do much better...
