Gra;nsfors Bruk Splitting Axe - Power & Precision The Gra;nsfors Bruk Large Splitting Axe can be used for splitting all types of firewood. It is forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit. The axe cuts quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. The handle has a protective steel collar below the axe head and circular grooves towards the end for an extra firm grip. The axe handle is available in two forms, a shorter and a longer version. Gra;nsfors Bruk Splitting Axe should not be used for striking a wedge or as a wedge. Only the Gransfors Bruk Splitting Maul and Gransfors Bruk Splitting Wedge are designed for this.
