Gransfors Bruk - Wildlife Hatchet
Gränsfors Bruk, making the finest since 1909!
Gränsfors Bruks' Wildlife Hatchets 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. A smith at Gränfors Bruk has nothing to hide and 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.
The Wildlife Hatchet is a small, light axe which can easily be carried, when masked with its leather sheath, inside your pack or on your belt. Even with this small axe much can be accomplished: cut small branches in the backyard or chop sticks for a campfire. This little hatchet awakes in many of us memories and dreams of exciting camps and adventures.

Note from the Forge
'“Gränsfors Bruk Aktiebolag is currently experiencing a shortage in axes, hatchets and accessories driven by an unusually high global demand on one side and constraints in the supply chain on the other. The imbalance in demand and delivery capacity is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
The increased demand is not isolated to our industry, and we are experiencing shortages on most of our raw materials. Steel supply is very constrained now and Gränsfors is working closely with our suppliers to secure deliveries of key materials. We have increased our raw material buffers to counter the longer lead times, however on some specifications the lead times are long and uncertain beyond what can be managed with increased buffers alone. The huge global demand for steel has of course also driven up prices, and we are seeing significant price hikes across our raw material spend. While steel is the biggest driver of both supply constraints and cost, the same dynamics can be seen on our other raw materials, e.g. hickory …”
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!”
