There will always be a compromise between a small, portable hatchet and a large axe more suitable for felling; the Small Forest Axe is great, but it is lacking in weight and length for good splitting and chopping. I wanted an axe that was a little bit longer, better to swing with two hands, with a heavier head.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo what is it that makes the head of this axe so special?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt’s been designed to give real bite. The weight of the head combined with its size makes it a little more potent to use - you can split wood with it one minute and then use it for carving the next.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd what's different about the handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe length is different, which is critical to the functionality of the axe. The handle is long enough, and the head heavy enough, so that the head is doing all the work. This means that your muscles can instead focus on guiding the axe, making it a much safer axe to use. The length of the helve, in balance with the weight of the head, is designed to give perfect balance. It’s a mix between the Gransfors Scandinavian Axe and the Small Forest Axe, but there is real magic in it; anyone who uses it will see and feel the magic quality of weight and length - it makes it a very special axe.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat would you say are the ideal uses of this axe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnything you have to be able to do in the woods – felling trees, chopping dead trees that have blocked a portage trail, splitting, carving, fashioning a canoe paddle - but it does require expertise to use it well and these things take a long time to learn...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo read the full interview, please visit the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raymears.com\/blogs\/news\/ray-mears-unveils-the-new-and-exclusive-gransfors-ray-mears-wilderness-axe\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWoodlore Blog\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Mears Bushcraft logo on handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead weight: 0.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight: 1.4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 cm hickory handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective leather sheath included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-year guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gransfors Bruks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53086140531027,"sku":"814","price":162.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/0876\/9107\/files\/Wilderness_Axe.jpg?v=1771704269"},{"product_id":"gransfors-bruks-ray-mears-wilderness-axe-handle","title":"Gransfors Bruks Ray Mears Wilderness Axe Handle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGransfors Bruks Ray Mears Wilderness Axe Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e is, as the name suggests, a replacement handle for the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.raymears.com\/products\/gransfors-bruks-ray-mears-wilderness-axe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eGransfors Bruks Ray Mears Wilderness Axe\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Gransfors axe is sold with a handle, however, if a spare or replacement is needed, this is the exact same design as that which comes fitted as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld traditions have been embraced and adapted to the demands of today’s users.
