Gränsfors
For more than 100 years, the Gränsfors Bruks has been dedicated to the production of axes forged by hand, with a focus on quality and environmental responsibility. Today there are 30 people working in production and sales. The experience and skills of individual employees are critical to the quality of the axes. Each axe is marked with the initials of the blacksmith to ensure their quality and warranty.
The Gränsfors Mini Belt Hatchet is developed by Lennart Pettersson at Gränsfors Bruks in Sweden. Lennart, an axe smith, knife smith, back-packer and fisherman, has created a little hatchet which can be used as an axe and a knife. The poll, slightly rounded, functions like a "priest".
The roots of Gränsfors Mini Belt Hatchet go back many thousand years. In the old days in Europe it was common to carry a belt axe which could be used as a knife or an axe, a valuable tool and a weapon. A nice belt axe was also a symbol of status. In the 16th and 17th century, the French began trading axes with the American Indians. The small Belt Axe, light and narrow, become the "trade axe" and was transformed into the tomahawk.
Gränsfors Mini Belt Hatchet is neither a tomahawk nor a scaled down axe. It is a functional new design by Lennart Pettersson. It is hand-forged of high carbon Swedish steel and tempered at the bit to a hardness of 57 Rockwell. To forge a small axe with the hole in the head requires great craftsman skill.
Gränsfors Mini Belt Hatchet is the lightest axe of all Gränsfors Bruk axes.
