Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Axe for Fathers Day

You have a nice ax (I never thought I'd say that to a guy!)

Seriously, I have a slightly different model axe from Gränsfors Bruk too and I really like it.

I took a tour of the Gränsfors Bruk company a few years ago, and I met 3 of the dozen or so axesmiths. Each smith stamps their initials on every ax -- and if one of their axe heads ever cracks and is returned (no time limit warranty), that particular smith is subject to a lot of ribbing from the others. :-)

I zoomed in on your picture, and your particular ax was made by "EB" who is Eric Blixt. No particular reason other than I found it interesting to connect a particular ax to a face, but here is a picture of the guy who made your specific ax:

I just thought you (and your dog!) might find this interesting!
