Pros & Cons
Pros
With the exception of a minor burr on the shoulder (just below the *) the quality is top notch. Superb quality. My best purchase from amazon in 10 years.
Great for limbing, cutting down medium trees, and decent at splitting wood. Comes razor sharp out of the box. Much handier than a chainsaw for liming on the ground. Great for splitting firewood.
The handle is so smooth and beautiful. Bites hard and deep every swing, and dont have to swing hard either. Wood grain was perfect and the handle couldn't have been straighter.

Cons
Gransfors bruks axe is only 2 lbs head on a 24 inch handle. The leather blade guard has an inch long slice on the back side and the handle is unbelievably rough. The sheath feels and looks flimsy, and the welts do not protect the blade from the steel ... Read More

I can easily fell a reasonably sized tree in less than 10 minutes with the axe
Im not new to axes and held off too long to buy a real quality one

Price is high but its a nice axe
Price is high but you get what you pay for
Shipping
Only problem i had was with shipping
Packaging/appearance
Perfect to toss in the pack and process on the site
It comes razor sharp out of the box
These things cut paper out of the box
Sharp as the shards of narsil out of the box
Competitiveness
Would buy again from gransfors bruk good quality and good looking👍
The edge came sharper than some knives i’ve bought for the same price
Find someone in person or even online that has owned a gransfors bruks axe or hatchet as well as other brands
Then finish the handle with turps linseed and beeswax

The leather cover is too tight and the axe cuts it if you push it in without fiddling with it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The axe head is well made but did not come sharp and had a bit of rolling on the bottom of the blade
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I dont imagine it left the factory like that
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The rivets in the sheath might be the cause of the blade rolling on the bottom if it was forced into it during transit

I like the sheath but i will be upgrading it to something else that has less chance of damaging the edge
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Also keep in mind there is no warranty when bought through amazon i dont think ill need to use it but i wish i knew this before i ordered
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I thought all gb axes have lifetime warranty but they need to be purchased thru their retailers for the warranty
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The axe head looks like it was forged in the mines of moria hardened by the fires of smaug
