Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet, 415 is a small, light axe which can be easily carried, masked with its leather sheath, inside your pack or on your belt. Even with this small axe you can manage a lot: cut branches in the back-yard or chop and split sticks for a camp fire. The Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet, 415 awakes in many of us memories and dreams of exciting camps and adventures. The Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet, 415 has a 3" face and a 13 1/2" hickory handle and the head weighs 1 lb. The Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet, 415 comes with a grain-leather sheath.
Old traditions are adapted to today's demand. Most of the handles of Gransfors Bruks axes have a unique ergonomic design which gives a steady grip around the handle. All Gransfors Bruks handles are made of selected high quality (prima) American hickory. Fiberglass handles are stronger than hickory handles but Gransfors Bruks believes that wooden handles are more ecological. Gransfors Bruks axe handles are soaked in hot linseed oil and dripped dry. They are then covered with beeswax to help keep the dirt off.
Gransfors Axes are forged by very professional smiths. The proof of this professionalism is that they are able to forge axes with such precision that no supplementary work, to hide mistakes in the forging, is needed.
At Gransfors Bruks the forging craft is allowed to take its time. The smiths do not work by the piece. They take care and do the right forging from the beginning. There is no need to stone or grind or smooth or paint the axes in order to hide or eliminate imperfections in the forging.
A smith at Gransfors Bruks has nothing to hide and he is proud of his professional standards. When he is satisfied with his work and has accepted his axe, he marks the head with his initials beside the company's crown label:

In 1990 Gransfors Bruks' Axes were awarded a prize in "Ecological Design" from The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation in cooperation with The Swedish Society of Crafts and Design. In 1995 Gransfors Bruks received another award from The Swedish Society of Crafts and Design for the "Hunter's Axe".

The Gransfors Bruk Wildlife Hatcher delivered this past week and it is exactly what I would expect from a GB axe. I have the small forest axe as well and that is why I was willing to spend the extra cash for a GB Wildlife Hatchet. Absolutely perfect and great addition to my cutting tools. The quality you get from GB is unequaled in my opinion.

Overall, GB axes are well worth the spend. Hand crafted piece of functional art. The hatchet balances well, awesome combination of small size and power.

First of all, a shout-out to CSP; great to deal with, responsive, outstanding Customer service.
My hatchet arrived last night; before deciding to purchase, I read every review on the hatchets offered by different manufacturers, and settled on the Wildlife Hatchet. The quality of craftsmanship is incredible, and it was razor-sharp out of the box. I agree with the two reviews above. Great company, CSP, offering great product.
