Real decent review. Funny thing, here I am in Sweden watching your American review for a Swedish product. :)
We appreciate the swede quality for.sure
This looks like such a nice maul, I'm about to order one. Love to the swedes from America for your fine craftsmanship
@@the_Wolf_directly I've had this model for two years now. I can split just about anything without any problems. Real gnarly large chunks, it just sails through. Pairing it with a splitting axe is an amazing combo.
@@Skandinavisk awesome, thanks! It's an expensive piece but I'm glad to hear confirmation that it will be a worthy investment
I bought a Granfors Bruks splitting Axe in early December.
It's a little smaller than this Maul and it's the perfect tool to split wood.
I have tackled lots of knotty pieces and the GB it tore through it better than the heavier maul I have.
It's holding a great edge and I would highly recommend it if you want something smaller than this maul to split wood.
Thank you for this review. I am currently debating whether to buy this axe and your review has convinced me. As an aside , I'm over in England and there's one notable difference in your review. Snow. Here in the UK when its snows we sit inside watching axe reviews.....where as you boys go outside and make 'em !!!! Top marks chaps
You wee yins doon in the south don't get snow more like frost and Ur all lazy :)
Nice review on the mall
I can concur these are beautiful pieces of artisan tool making, expensive, but you buy an axe for life from Gransfors Bruk. I have got a Long Handled Large Splitting Axe and an Outdoor axe myself, which feel so natural to use and cut through wood like butter. Then I hang them on the wall when not in use. The shape, patina and linseed smell all make for an awesome piece of art in the light of the fire they created. Double win.
After using both the Gransfors Bruks Scandinavian Forest Axe and the Husqvarna Forest Axe, what would you recommend? Besides the price, they seem very close in comparison. Is there a significant difference? Thanks Brother
How does this compare to the Prandi hybrid style maul? And if you have had experience with it do you recommend the Gransfors over the Prandi for general splitting firewood?
I would like to know what tape did you use to put on for the gripping? Looks like good stuff that keeps from slipping. thnxs
How is the maul and new sheath holding up? Beautiful sheath by the way!
The handle is smaller than what i am used to, so if you are a tall guy maybe get something else, but other than that its a awesome maul
What did you use to wrap the handle?
What weight wedge do you use? Which brand?
You quit to soon on the maul only splitting. If it was cracking hit the wood on the opposite side from where your first two hits were. Then alternate back and forth. It's way faster than using the maul and less work. You just work the problem back and forth. I only use the wedge when no cracks appear at all after 3 hits. I've split an average of 10 cords each year for 30 years. Also for a one tool light weight option I would recommend Fiskers splitting axe.
Thanks for this review I've wondered about these axes. I want to get one.
Fiskars splitting axe is a cheap junk garden tool produced in china, please dont compare it to heritage tools like a granfors axe
After watching that video I appreciate my hydraulic wood splitter even more. Thanks for the encouragement.
Hope you guys still watching for comments on older videos, curious about how you guys oil and care for the handle with the paracord wrap, do you guys oil over the wrap, soak it, or keep replacing the wrap to treat and care for the handle?
Just leave the wrap on until it wears out, then treat handle and replace wrap.
Love the black leather sheath.
Great to laugh with you on splitting with wedges! Be safe! 🦺 🚧

It is clearly a high quality implement and the presentation gets the thumbs up. The gransfors bruks is hand forged, expensive and should be cared for, so that it can be handed down to the next generation. By all means, split away as much as you like with it, but use a sledge hammer, which is more appropriate, to drive the wedges.
Old Growth Artisans what did you use to wrap the handle?
What tape measure is that?
Great review,greater axe...next time try hit the wood on the outside,go around and do not hit in the middle...it is the hardest way....The handel you added for grip it's not so good.You need your hands slipping on the handel so you can do a nice swing.In the moment the axe is reaching the surface of the log you have to grip the handel from the very end.This gives you force without going exhausted .I;m doing this a hole day.Believe me the technique is most important,at least as important as the axe.
How much for the sheath
Open die forged, not hand forged. Hultafors and Gransfors have videos on the tube showing the production method.
Im sure its a good maul but its too pretty for me to want to use it. Ill stick with my 1/6 of the price fiskars
Do you make a sheath for the gransfors bruks splitting hatchet?
Not yet.
Thanks for the good video. Please make sure to wear eye protection when chopping. especially when hitting metal on metal. cheers.
What line/string/cord did you use for the whipping at the end of the handle?
SpudmeisterThe1 looks like some type of para cord, but it also looks like he Sanded his axehandle. That is why he needed the wrap, have one of these myself and it doesnt need the wrap for a grippy handle
Looks to me like sein twine - tarred nylon chord
What material is used to wrap the handle?
Looks like #36 bankline
What is the wrapping Eric used? I just got this maul and I love it but I think I want a wrap for the grip.
Looks like some thin tarred bank line to me, but I could be wrong.
I just received mine today. It's beautiful. However, the lower part of the handle seemed unfinished. When I pulled it from the box it gave me a splinter. Is this how it's supposed to be or was the handle unfinished?
@@charliebronson1274 i wouldn't worry about it mine was like that too but as you use it it will smooth out very quickly. I've split about 3-4 cords with it so far and it's been great. No regrets. Just out your work gloves on and rub it down a bit or just split some wood and by the time to re done it should be nice and smooth.
@@the_Wolf_directly Hey, thanks for replying. Ok ill give that a try. I'd rather not send it back anyway.
I wonder how the Husqvarna maul compares. Husqvarna makes great cost effective axes for those turned off by the price of GFB
The Husq is also 7 lbs. I've got a review of it. I think it's pretty comparable, though I like the snap on the gransfors bruks sheath better than the draw string on the Husq, and I like the guard on the GB. I've only been using mine for a few days so I'm not 100% sure about the steel quality yet, but it looks similar. Same patina.
Don't buy the huskvana if your splitting red gum or anything knotty
I usually read the wood before spliting and hardly use wedges lol .
.i just pound on the rounds
Solid tips
Use a lanyard. That’s the purpose of the lanyard hole. Mine works great.
Wind mill the axe on the wedge. It hits harder. It takes a while to get conformable but it's the only way to go. Plus it looks really cool when people watch you lol.
Patrick Germond what do you mean by «wind milling»
good vid.
my entire zombie-fighting arsenal is gransfors bruks
only thing they are good at
Review of a splitting maul and didn’t even see it split.
Glad I saw this comment before I wasted my time watching this.
Spilt with the radius of the log not across it were possible
Thank you for your advice!
многие говорят что топоры от этой компании плохого качества. скажите вы встречали бракованные? лайк👍
+Сергей Коваленко не разу не встречали брак - у нас уже 5-6 топоров ГБ, и все исключительные!
ReviewOutdoorGear я слышал что закалка плохая, скалываются иногда...но топоры красивые...
не верно
Maul or splitting axe?
You can use both split the log in half with the maul then continue with the splitting axe because it's lighter.
But I use the maul because I like the exercise and and been chopping wood with it since the age of 12 so personal preferences.
Boy, I've wondered the same thing a great deal - I'm looking at making this big purchase right now. But I DO tend to find and kill very large rounds, and a heavy weapon is just better there. Enough better to get THIS? well, I'll have it my whole life and give it to the son who chops the most...
Seems like more of an advertisement to sell a sheath than a review of the GB splitting maul.
👍👍👍👍👍
when you swing .. swing more further on the wood .. you swing the maul to close of yours legs
+maxime caron thank you
how much money
It's around $190 in our neck of the woods. Pricey but seems very well made and good steel.
Thanks
is it guaranteed for life like a fiskars?
@@waynejohnson9855 20 years full warranty as far as I'm aware. But between the collar and the quality of the materials, you'll only need to use that if something *really* goes wrong.
@@cameronf3343 i do 100 full cord a year it will break.
👍👍👍🤝 супер топор!!!
Jamil continued
He got winded after one log.. needed a wrap to feel secure...
Amateur did much better!
Got a great hat though!
Should be putting your wood at the back of your block not the front @ czcams.com/video/xi9uQ7kyHIA/video.htmlm6s Very unsafe to put it at the front.
your wood should not be on a block at all, the best part of your swing is below your waist. i have tried it on a block and does not work near as good.
These hipsters are struggling ! 😂
What god ?
