Gransfors Bruks Carpenter Axe - Perfect All Around Hatchet

The Carpenter's Axe by Gransfors Bruks is everything in one. It is designed as a Carpenters Axe but it works well cutting down small trees as well as for hunting and wood carving. The GB Carpenter Axe is a perfect all around hatchet.

The Gransfors Bruks Carpenter's Axe features a straight edge and thin blade with low angle of bevel face, suited for work in dry wood. Forged inward curve from heel to lip of the head allows your hand to grip almost straight above the center of the edge. This, and the long straight cutting edge, gives rigidity, stability, and control when cutting. Functions like a good heavy knife. The axe butt is ground and can be used as a hammer. Has a 3" face, 1 lb. head and an 18" hickory handle.

Again another perfect product from Gransfors Bruks. Check it out at OsoGrandeKnives.com.

Gransfors Bruks Ceramic Axe Sharpening Grinding Stone

The Gransfors Ceramic Axe Grinding Stone (model GB 4034) is a man-made ceramic sharpening stone with two grinding faces: a course side (180 grit) for repairing damage and heavy wear, and a fine side (600 grit) for sharpening. The ceramic composite makes the stone both durable and strong. In contrast to natural sandstone, a ceramic grinding stone can be given a more precise grain size. Its shape is round and flat with a beveled edge to prevent chipping. The fine side is 2/3 of the thickness, as this side is usually used and worn down most. The ceramic axe stone is normally used with water but can be used dry. The weight is 6.7 ounces (190 grams) and the diameter of the Stone itself is about 2 inches (5 cm). The Slipsten Grinding Stone is packaged in a nice-looking black rubberized case with labels for the fine side and the coarse side. See it at OsoGrandeKnives.com
