This is an EXCELLENT little axe that seems to punch far above its weight. Good grip and nicely balanced - a joy for basic camp fire needs and easy to manage for a spot of roughing out blanks for carving too. Very glad I bit the bullet and went for it. Great service from Proadventure too, thanks! Highly recommended!

I wanted a small axe for carving/whittling. While the two carving hatchets have nice handles i found the shorter handle on the small hatchet to be a better size but i prefer the weight of the head on the large hatchet. While the handle on this isnt quite ideal as its a bit thin near the base, this is a better compromise for me giving the heavier head on a shorter handle. It also means that if i do decide to go for a hatchet with a larger handle, i can go for the large carving hatchet, (as someone once said, you can never have too many axes!). This was delivered promptly and well packaged so really pleased with the support i had from the store. Many thanks.

Its a cracking little axe, beautifully weighted and balanced and razor sharp. Its extremely well made, just the feel of it you know its quality. I make small rustic garden tables out of sweet chestnut from our woodland and Ive just used this axe to carve a table top. The sharpness allows me to remove the finest of shavings when I hold it right up at the head, and whilst I hadnt intended using this as a carver, the effect Im able to achieve is amazing. Im sure that I will be purchasing other tools in the Gransfors range in future. Whilst they are expensive theyre also top quality judging by my hand hatchet.

Bought for my grandsons 18th next month so can't really say much about it other than it looks and feels like a very well made axe. As he's very much into the outdoors I'm sure that he will get many years use and enjoyment out of it.

It's exactly as described, Gransfors Bruks - enough said.
Anonymous Customer - 11/03/2016
Top quality product as one would expect from Granfors. A light hatchet ideal for making kindling but with enough clout to carry out small chopping jobs.

Well balanced and very sharp made by an expert.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
