Working Axes
The axes in this section are some of the best in the world, made in Sweden by the renowned Gransfors Bruks and Wetterlings axesmiths.
We recently extended our range of axes to include a small number from Wetterlings thereby offering a greater choice of designs and functions. Wetterlings axes are superb.
Whilst all of the axes listed here are designed to be used, this section includes those axes that don't fit into other specific catagories such as splitting axes or throwing axes. They are everyday well designed axes made to do specific jobs extremely well. E-mail or telephone us if you need help to decide the right axe for you.
If you are looking for a Gransfors or Wetterlings axe not listed here give us a call, we may be able to make a special order.
Remember if you break a handle we can order a replacement and keep spare leather sheaths for most axes in stock.
