Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Gransfors Bruks Outdoor Axe

Friends,

I have for sale a near-new Gransfors Bruks Outdoor Axe, their newest model (introduced 2010 or maybe late 2009). It's a darn good axe, quite a handy size, but it fulfills a role for which I already use a much-loved vintage Hudson Bay pattern Plumb Victory, so I'm going to sell it and buy a GB Large Splitting Axe. I bought it about a month ago and it's been to the woods only once. It's basically small splitting axe perfection, but I love my Plumb. See here:

It has a beautifully convexed edge and fairly full cheeks for splitting, and it splits fir like a champ. I used it to split three or four small chunks and that has been the extent of its use. No batonning. I did leather strop the edge but I never used a stone on it. There is a slight dent at the butt of the handle, and the strap on the sheath got a little chewed up somehow. Full disclosure: the sheath is junk anyway and if I were keeping the axe I would make a new one.

Again, this axe is all but new. Price is $160 to your door, a savings of $14 over the new price, not including shipping (and what I paid). For a buyer, I'll even throw in "The Axe Book" which is a nice little book that Gransfors includes with each axe.

I can send better pictures on request.

Thanks,

Dan

If anyone are wondering about these axes, I have 3 GB axes. A big splitting axe, the hunters axe and a felling axe. The quality is 2nd to none. I use the hunters axe on every deer I kill and it goes camping with me also. These are really great tools.

Thanks for the plug, Micky. I almost went the the Hunter's Axe, but it really would have been redundant. Instead I put a Hunter's Axe handle on the aforementioned Plumb.

I have the Hunters Axe that I won. I use it to skin and quarter my elk. It is razor sharp and an awesome tool

Bump for a fine axe.

I have the small forest axe. Gansfors second to none...free bump

Apparently the only people who would buy a GB axe, already have one!

I balked at the price at first too, but once I had it I understood. Believe me, if this sells I'm marching right down to the hardware store and buying the Large Splitting Axe.

I have the Hunter Axe- stupid sharp

No buyer interest...

Didn't really want to sell anyway...

I'll just save up for the Large Splitting Axe.

Withdrawn!
