The Gränsfors Double Bit Axe is based on the North American working axes, but has been modified for use in axe throwing. Both edges are identical and the centre of gravity and handle are carefully positioned so that the axe rotates well in flight. The dimensions and design of the axe comply with the rules for axe throwing.

The Double Bit Axe can also be used as a working axe in the forest, although this is rare nowadays. In this case it should be longer, which is why the axe is also available with an 89 cm handle. As with all of Gransfors products, it is of excellent quality; hand-forged and made using traditional Swedish methods. Each axe head comes individually stamped with the smith's initials, while the hickory handle is boiled in linseed oil and rolled in bees wax for a smooth water repellant finish. 

Each Gransfors Axe head is hand-forged from high quality Swedish steel that is honed, tempered & annealed to the perfect hardness by the experienced Gränfors Bruk Swedish Smiths who stamp their initials on the head. Each Gransfors axe is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece you'll treasure for years to come.

Great stuff of Gransfors Bruk

All Gransfors Bruk products are the very best. I own most of them and have never received one that wasn’t perfect. I only wish all product makers took the same pride in what they turn out. Great job.

Will definitely need 2 hands to throw it. Watch your fingers, it's sharp.

Outstanding axe

Great selection of GB axes. This double-bit was as advertised, and shipped immediately. Very satisfied with this purchase. Will shop here again.

It is what it is supposed to be

I have numerous pieces from this manufacturer, they are all true to form and function. This is mainly a throwing axe but can certainly be used as a felling axe. It is well made and is sharp as H--l even after felling several trees. Just make sure you plan to throw it or skip this one and by another style from GB.
