Handmade Axes

For more than 100 years, Gränsfors Bruk has built up a business around the production of hand forged axes and axe knowledge, with a focus on quality and environmental responsibility.

Why Gränsfors Bruk?

For over 100 years, we have been forging axes by hand, designing each one for specific purposes and long-term use. We believe true responsibility lies in combining function, minimal environmental impact, and respect for the people who forge, grind or fit the handle at every tool we make. Choosing Gränsfors Bruk means choosing an axe made to work well, last long, and be produced with care at every step.

A mark of quality

Before the axe head is set aside to cool, the blacksmith makes one final mark. Alongside the Gränsfors Bruk stamp, they press their own initials into the steel, a signature of responsibility and pride. These initials are a mark of quality, but also a reminder that every axe has been shaped by human hands, not a machine. Each stamp tells the story of the person who stood by the forge and took responsibility for the finished tool.

Visit Gränsfors & our forge

It’s at least as fascinating to see the craftsmanship as it is to hear about it. Welcome to visit our axe factory and the village of Gränsfors.
