Gransfors Bruks Gransfors Mini Hatchet

Developed by Lennart Pettersson at Gransfors Bruks in Sweden. Lennart, axe smith, knife smith, backpacker and fisherman has created a little hatchet which can be used as an axe and a knife. It is hand-forged of high carbon Swedish steel and tempered at the bit to a hardness of 57 Rockwell C. To forge a small axe with the hole in the head requires great craftsman skill. This little hatchet has a 2 1/2 inch cutting edge, a 10 inches hickory handle and weighs only about 12 oz. The hatchet comes with a grain-leather sheath.
