I have a Gransfors Bruks and a Wetterlings. The Gransfors is the better of the two in a couple ways. First, the handle is smoother and better fit/finished. It doesn't shrink in the winter causing the head to be loose. The Wetterlings does. Second, the Gransfors head is of thinner profile and out cuts the Wetterlings by a considerable margin. The combination of the thin profile and hardness causes the Gransfors edge to chip pretty easily on bone however. To be perfectly honest, I also have an Estwing that out cuts the Wetterlings and cuts damn close to as well as the Gransfors for a fraction of the price of either. If looks, function and heirloom quality is paramount, get the Gransfors. If cutting/functionality is the main concern, get the Estwing and save a bunch. Hell, get two Estwings and still save.
