Description
Long & Large Splitting Axe
The Gränsfors Bruk Long & Large Splitting Axe can be used for splitting all types of firewood. It is forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit. The Long & Large Splitting axe cuts quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. 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 used as a wedge. Only the Splitting Maul is designed for this.

Finally decided on a Gransfors Bruk
I split about 6 full cords of oak/ash/hickory a year. Fiskar X27 has been my go-to splitting axe; also use the Fiskar 8lb maul for tough jobs; and I love both of them. I compare using the Gransfors Bruk to the first time I replaced a woodworking tool with a Festool version. (Much) More expensive, but when you use it you realize why and appreciate what goes into making a hand-forged tool like this. I opted for the long handle because I am 6’ 3” and it works very well for me. If you split for a living/life style, I highly recommend this axe.
