Gransfors Bruks Swedish Broad Axe 1800 & 1700

Gransfors Bruks Swedish Broad Axe 1800 & 1700 Overview

Broad axes have evolved to meet the needs of builders who create straight, square timbers from logs. Gransfors Bruks Axe Models 1800 and 1700 are their most highly developed versions of the straight axe. In their massively elegant design the head thickens radically just abaft the cutting edge, creating an arrow-like profile with very wide bevels on both sides. These bevels, easily 1" wide, let the user swing the axe at a slight angle to clear the eye and handle while shaving surfaces as cleanly as a bent axe. Model 1800's head weighs 3 lbs, with a 7-1/2" face; its handle is 20" long. Model 1700, distinguished by its unique integral forged iron handle sheath, weighs in at 3 lbs., 12 oz. Its face is 7-1/2" wide, and its handle is 20" long.

Gransfors Bruks Swedish Carving Axe Overview

A chop axe for hewing bowls and other wooden objects, artistic wood carving and architectural work. The characteristic curved shape of the cutting edge, carried well above the head's eye, the position of the edge in proportion to he handle, the rather thick bit and the big angle of the wide beveled face makes this axe a good carving tool. You "cut on the beveled face" with curved movements. This new axe pattern, based on old Swedish carving techniques, was developed by Wille Sundqvist, master craftsman and author of "Swedish Carving Techniques" in cooperation with craftman adviser Onni Linnanheimo. The handle is "rugged" to give a good grip. The axe has a 4 1/3" face and a 14" hickory handle and the head weighs 2 lb. It comes with a grain-leather sheath.
