Specially made for hunters. The Poll is forged thinner than normal and gently rounded and burnished to a Flay Poll to be used when skinning an animal. Besides that the axe is good for chopping, in wood as well as meat and bones. The grip of the handle has circular grooves which gives a steady grip even if your hands are wet or sticky. This axe has received, as the first and only axe in Sweden, a design award from The Swedish Society of Crafts and Design.

GB420 Small Forest Axe £50.95

Same size as the Hunters Axe but a more traditional pattern and poll. The blade is thin. The handle is long enough to allow powerful chopping but not too long so it will fit into a rucksack, the back of a car or a boat. Practical for splitting small sticks for the fire or cutting small-diameter limbwood for starter fuel in a fireplace. The axe has a 3 1/4" face and a 19" hickory handle and the head weighs 1 1/2 lb. It comes with a grain-leather sheath.

Forged to a thin, curved bit and sharpened to make it suitable for cutting branches in fresh, resinous wood, spruce or pine. The long handle gives extra strength and power to the cut.

GB439 Splitting Hatchet £56.95 *

*A £6.00 Postage & Packing fee applies to this item.

GB441 Small Splitting Axe £61.95*

Can be managed with one hand. Forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit. This design helps the axe to go fast into the wood - and then split efficiently when the thicker part hits and pushes apart the wood. The poll of this axe, like the poll on most axes, is not designed for pounding on a wedge. The head weighs 2 lb. The face is 2 1/2”. The 20” hickory handle has circular grooves at the grip and steel collar near the head. It comes with a grain-leather sheath.

*A £6.00 Postage & Packing fee applies to this item.

GB442 Large Splitting Axe £66.95*

Designed for splitting chunks of wood, "rounds". The axe head is quite heavy with forged cheeks on both sides of the blade, "splitting wedge shaped crests" which power apart the grain of the wood. A Splitting Axe does not just have to slice into the wood –the thick axe blade pushes apart the wood.

The poll of this axe, like the poll on most axes, is definitely not designed for heavy pounding on a wedge.

The axe has a 3" face and a 27" hickory handle and the head weighs 3 1/2 lb.

*A £6.00 Postage & Packing fee applies to this item.

GB450 Splitting Maul £69.95*

Even named Hammer-poll Axe. Designed for splitting apart large chunks of wood, "rounds". The Maul’s head is heavier and the cheek flare far wider behind the cutting edge compared with the Splitting Axes. The poll is designed for pounding on a splitting wedge.

The axe has a 2 1/2" face and a 31" hickory handle and the head weighs 5 1/2 lb.

Danger: Always wear adequate clothing and protection for your face and eyes.

GB460 Splitting Wedge £26.95

Forged steel wedge. Twisted for maximum splitting. The poll has ground edges.

The wedge has a 1 3/4" face, weighs 4 lb.

Danger: Always wear adequate clothing and protection for your face and eyes.

GB465 Small Carpenters Axe £51.95

These axes have a straight edge and thin blade with low angle of the bevel face, suited for work in dry wood. The forged inward curve from the heel to the lip of the head allows your hand to grip almost straight above the centre of the edge. This, and the long straight cutting edge, gives rigidity, stability, and control when cutting. Functions like a good heavy knife. The axe poll is ground and can be used as a hammer.
The head weighs 11/2 lb and has a 3 1/2" face. The axe has an 18" hickory handle and a grain-leather sheath.

GB475 Large Carving Axe £75.95

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 the handle, the rather thick bit and the big angle of the wide beveled face makes the axe a good carving tool. You "cut on the beveled face" with curved movements. This new axe pattern, based on old Swedish carving techniques, is developed by Wille Sundqvist, master craftsman and author of Swedish Carving Techniques in cooperation with craftsman 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.

GB480 broad Axe £105.95* (To order only)

The pattern of the Broad Axe and the handle is based on old Swedish logging techniques for squaring logs and structural timbers of all kinds. Has sufficient space between the "blade’s beard" and the handle for the user’s fingers. Beveled on two sides (double beveled) or on one side, left or right. The eye (and the direction of the handle) may be straight or sideways angled, right or left, to protect the knuckles. One side beveled, left side, normally goes with an eye angled sideways to the right. If you want deeper visible cuts when squaring logs, you may even have a broad axe, double beveled, with the blade bent and the eye angled sideways to the right or to the left.
The broad axe has a 7" face and a 20" hickory handle and the head weighs 3 lb. It comes with a grain-leather sheath.

*A £6.00 Postage & Packing fee applies to this item.

GB486 Draw Knife £84.95

GB487 Froe £71.95

GB490T Throwing Axe £96.95*

Different models of double-bit axes have been popular in the US since the last quarter of the 19th century because of its balanced feel and versatility. Typically, one blade was sharpened to a finely honed, narrow “felling edge”, while the second blade was ground slightly blunter, and used for knots and cutting near the ground where a finely sharpened blade was more likely to be damaged. Today the double-bit axe is used as a Working Axe or as a Throwing Axe for timber sports.
The head weighs 3 lb and the face of the bits are about 6”. The Throwing Axe has a 29” straight hickory handle and the Working Axe has a 35” straight hickory handle with swell-knob. They come with two grain-leather sheaths.
