Like most good things, GB axes are addictive. I have two of them, so far.

This is from their "Axe Book":

Quote:
Gränsfors Axes 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.

At Gränsfors Bruks the forging craft is allowed to take its time. The smiths do not work by the piece. They take care and do the right forging from the beginning. There is no need to stone or grind or smooth or paint the axes in order to hide or eliminate imperfections in the forging.

A smith at Gränsfors Bruks has nothing to hide and he 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:

LP Lennart Pettersson
KS Kjell-Åke Sjölund
UN Ulrik Nilsson
RA Rune Andersson
CK Claudia Kowalek
MM Mattias Mattsson
LE Lars Enander
DG Daniel Gräntz
BA Bert-Ove Andersson
JE Joakim Eriksson
US Ulrika Stridsberg
I've got an LP and an MM.

Oh man, I think I need to buy some new axes! There goes my credit rating....

Boom Stick, what kind of steel do they use in the axe heads? I couldn't find any info on the website....High Carbon Steel?

I had a Gransfors Bruk's double bit throwing axe once. I miss it very much.

I've got a couple of their axes bookmarked, and will probably buy one just because. I don't anticipate having a great deal of need for one in SW Arizona, where I'm headed next, but you never know.
