We are going from summer to autumn here in Sweden. The evenings are going from bright to dark. It is a perfect time to spend with a cup of coffee by the fire, being mesmerized by the flames.

Gränsfors Bruk’s handle is made from hickory, the perfect wood because it is both strong and flexible, with long, parallel fibres. This increases the life of the handle and thus helps reduce the consumption of nature’s resources. The wood is dried before turning. This is so that the wood will not dry out any further…

This weekend we celebrate midsummer in Sweden. This year we would like to spend the day outside and cook midsummer dinner over an open fire, but as we know, the weather this weekend is always unreliable.
