About the Company

I usually dont feel a need to talk about the company of a product thatIm reviewing. In this case, I felt it was interesting enough to include it in the review.

Grnsfors Bruks is a small Swedish company that employs 32 people and has been around for more than 100 years. Every axe is handmade and has the craftsmans initials stamped into the blade to show the pride that the maker has in his work. This gives each axe a really cool, old-world, feel.

Pros

Quality is the first thing that you think of when you see a Grnsfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet for the first time. The blades are razor-sharp and show the obvious signs of being hand forged. For some, this may appear as ugly, but to me, its a thing of beauty and clearly the best hatchet out there.

When you pick it up, the handle is smooth and comfortable and the axe feels well balanced.

Of course, if were calling this the best survival hatchet out there it needs to chop well. TheGrnsfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet does just that! This thing is a joy to use and makes processing wood easy compared to many other so-called survival hatchets.

Cons

As with anything, every axe is not perfect. There have been reports of some finishing problems with the handles and a couple of people have said theyve received axes with nicked blades. I havent personally seen that in any of the Grnsfors Bruk axes Ive ever handled, but its something to make a note of if youre going to buy one.

The good thing is that would be covered by the 20-year manufacturers warranty, but it isnt something you should have to deal with from a product thats this expensive.

Grnsfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet Conclusion

I own two Grnsfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchets. One is strapped to my wifes bug out bag and I take the other one with me when Im camping or doing something that may require an axe.

Chopping and splitting wood can seem like a chore most of the time. When Im processing wood for a fire with this hatchet its more fun than anything else. Any hatchet can chop wood. A good hatchet makes it fun!

We think the Grnsfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet is the best hatchet on the market.
