The Swedes are often referred to as the world's greatest axe enthusiasts, and Gransfors Bruks is one of their finest forges. A family-owned company situated amongst the beautiful Halsingland countryside, Gransfors' is a modest team of twenty-five people. The axe forging is taken care of by just five highly-skilled smiths, and each axe head is individually embossed with the smith's initials. Gransfors Axes are recognised the world over as the first choice for the true outdoorsman; their Small Forest Axe has become a fundamental tool in Bushcraft, while the Ray Mears Wilderness Axe marks a unique collaboration between the two outdoor greats.
