Gransfors Bruk 439 Splitting Hatchet w Collar Guard

Gransfors Bruk Splitting Hatchet cuts quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. It can be used with one or two hands for smaller firewood. It is forged and ground to a concave, thin blade at the bit. The handle has a protective steel collar below the axe head and circular grooves towards the end for an extra firm grip. Splitting Axes should not be used for striking a wedge or as a wedge. Only the Splitting Maul is designed for this. This splitting hatchet weighs 3.3 pounds and its length with handle is 19 inches. Sheath is made of vegetable-tanned leather.
