Great all around products from my experience.

They look and feel good, they are easy to sharpen, take a good edge. Most axes are made for green woodworking/soft wood and using them on hard seasoned wood may work and dull the edge fast though.

Hultafors, wetterlings and husqvarna also produce similar products in quality, sometimes cheaper. Granfors has a broader offer, when it comes to specialty tools, such as bearded axes.




Yeah, there are lots of options for splitting mauls, forestry axes and camping hatchets but the only right handed (bevel on one side only) broad axe I've found is the Granfors.

If you happen to know cheaper quality alternatives, I'm all ears.
