Well balanced and Explosive
By S. Epps
Several years ago I had a high efficiency wood burning insert installed in my living room to offset the Minnesota winter (and heating bills). With frugality in mind, I split my own wood instead of purchasing a cord to a cord and a half per season. To do the job, I chose the Large Splitting Axe from Gransfors Bruks and have been delighted every time out. I have owned the tool for 3 seasons now and have spent nearly 9 weeks of comprising of after work and weekends restocking the 11 wood racks in my back yard. If you are looking for a tool that will stand up to the abuse, is well balanced and provides explosive splitting power, the Large Splitting Axe must be considered. I own 3 tools from Gransfors and the quality is exemplary; straight hickory shafts, precise forging and supreme sharpness. After each use, I do wipe them down with a bit of oil as I store them in my basement and they are a high carbon steel. This is a heirloom quality piece and will be appreciated by future generations.

By Daniel Sutterlin
I purchased this for my girlfriend for Christmas. When I opened the package I was sure that there was a mistake because the handle seemed VERY short to me. I checked the literature and it had the right length handle for the "Large splitting axe". I am 6'1" and this axe feels oddly short to me, but works perfect for my 5'7" girlfriend. We had been splitting with "utility" type general purpose axes and immediately noticed a difference in the length of time we could comfortably split with this axe. I don't think I would purchase one of these for myself, I think I would opt for their "large and long" model, because of my height, but anyone under 5'8" should be okay with this model.
