Gransfors Bruks Carpenters Axe 465

This axe has a straight edge and thin blade with a low-angle, beveled face. Best suited for work in dry wood, this axe functions like a good, heavy knife. The forged, inward curve of the poll permits the user to grip almost straight above the center of the edge. This combined with the long, straight cutting edge gives rigidity, stability, and control when cutting. The axe poll is ground and can be used as a hammer.

The head weighs 1 1/2 lb and has a 3 1/2" face. The axe has an 18" hickory handle and a grain-leather sheath.
