For more than 100 years, Gränsfors Bruk has built a business centered around handcrafted axes and expertise. Gränsfors Bruk has grown from its humble beginnings in Sweden to becoming an international brand with distributors in over 28 countries. We, Grand Forest, are the US distributor of Gränsfors Bruk axes located in Summerville, South Carolina. Investing in a Gränsfors Bruk axe means you have something dependable. Such a tool minimizes the frequency with which it needs to be replaced and thereby minimizes the impact on the earth’s resources. As a reflection of the commitment to function and quality, Gränsfors Bruk provides a 20-year guarantee on the axe head. If properly cared for, these tools can last a lifetime and be handed down to future generations. For Gränsfors Bruk’s axes, only recycled steel, vegetable tanned, chromium-free leather, and American hickory handles are used. Any component that is not vital to the performance or longevity of the axes is removed. Every axe is crafted by one of our skilled blacksmiths. Each is marked with the smith’s initials as a guarantee of quality. The small details show the characteristics and skills of the individual craftsman. An axe is only as good as the accumulated skills of the people who forge, grind, and attach the handle to the axe. All our axes are made by hand, ensuring a quality and unique axe that is built to last.
