Replacement Handle for Gransfors Bruks Outdoor Axe - Model 425 20-322-01

DDC20-305/E

Gransfors Bruks axe handles are designed by Hans Erik Persson.

The handle has an ergonomic design that provides a secure and comfortable grip. Most of them are made from hickory wood, which is strong and flexible. Certain models are made from copper beech. The handles are impregnated with heated linseed oil and beeswax, which improves their quality.

All handles, with the exception of the Small Hatchet and Outdoor Axe, are supplied together with a wooden wedge and a three-legged iron wedge.

The Small Hatchet and Outdoor Axe are supplied only with a wooden wedge, as these handles have a high risk of cracking if an iron wedge is driven in.

The Outdoor Axe features a steel collar to protect the handle. Spare handles for these axes include the collar attached to the handle. Replacing the handle on an axe with a steel collar requires a little more effort than a standard wooden handle. More force is needed to press the axe head onto the handle, and it is important to make sure that the collar enters slightly into the eye of the axe (the opening in the axe head). If the collar is not pressed into the opening, the handle will become loose.
