Mungo Wants to Cut Down Trees with a Small Forest Axe

In case anyone is reading this, and is interested in buying me a nice Christmas present... I would like a Gränsfors Bruks Small Forest Axe from Lee Valley Tools.





It has a 3-1/4" face, a 1-1/2 lb head, and a 19" handle. Same size as the Hunters Axe but a more traditional pattern and poll. The blade is thin. The handle is long enough to allow powerful chopping but not too long so it will fit into a rucksack. Practical for splitting wood for the fire or cutting small-diameter limbwood for starter fuel. It comes with a grain-leather sheath.



It is $89.00 and their store is 2 blocks from where I work.

See a really nice PDF poster on Gränsfors Bruks' wares.

2 Bahs!:

Nice of you to offer, but I already got one....or have I misunderstood your post?

When Santa does deliver one (and I'm sure he will) check out the initials of the smith on the axe head. Mines MM. If you get "The Axe Book" that comes with the axe, you should be able to match up the initials with the photo of the smithies. (more useless info).
