The Gransfors Small Splitting Axe can be used for medium-sized firewood. It is forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit. The axe cuts quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. The handle has a protective steel collar below the axe head and circular grooves towards the end for an extra firm grip. Splitting Axes should not be used for striking a wedge or as a wedge. Only the Splitting Maul is designed for this. The axe is delivered with a sheath.

 I like a knife like this, because I don't need something crazy, heavy and tactical and super duty that I can pound through. You know a four inch log or something I'm gon na use that an ax or a hatchet, or a saw for that. I, like a lighter use easier to maneuver knife that that serves as a second tool in my arsenal or third, you know whatever the case may be, and I think in that role. This is great

 It makes a difference how you judge a knife, how much you're paying for it, and this guy costs very little, which means you can be pretty darn forgiving, because even if you buy this and totally hate it you're frankly, not out all that much okay! Alright, let's let's go ahead now most of your going to be familiar with this, but I'll very quickly give you a rundown. This whole package, that is the whole knife and everything is going to be 4 ounces. So that's fantastic, especially if you're one of those people who you know as an ultralight, backpacker or anything like that, where, where weight, can be a real concern, this, I think, is gon na do a great job for that kind of a situation now I know there Are other knives that are have more heavy duty and are gon na be a little heavier as well? Let'S, let's just drop the sheath down there for now and get back to looking at the knife. Well, I give you the rest of these specs, so this guy is gon na, have a blade length of three and seven eighths hand a length of four and three quarters: four inches of grip area, the knife itself, by the way, when you take the sheet away, Only weighs 2

 You'Re, not gon na show this one off on Instagram, but it'll get a lot of work done in the outdoors and for my purposes and I've said this over and over again you know I don't I don't do a lot of, but awning with my knife. I don't do a lot of chopping, I prefer to bring a hatchet, and so in my particular you know, philosophy or my particular comfort level. I like a knife like this, because I don't need something crazy, heavy and tactical and super duty that I can pound through. You know a four inch log or something I'm gon na use that an ax or a hatchet, or a saw for that

 So I thought, since I was doing both and I will do a full comparison between the two of them. Actually, I felt like it was worth while to get the stainless steel and give it a try. So I'm gon na go through my thoughts here. Let me say first off that this is very, very affordable and, to me that's a big factor like you, you know it

Mora Companion Review Finally

 I can take a grinder to it if it really bugged me but it doesn't.  Leather Sheath: I dont have the issues some others have voice where it comes out even when the button is clasped. It's soft and will age well after continue care and applying leather conditioner oil.  Axe handle: I was a bit confused at first with the circular grooves but after reading the description on the Gransfor Bruk site it makes sense

 It's soft and will age well after continue care and applying leather conditioner oil.  Axe handle: I was a bit confused at first with the circular grooves but after reading the description on the Gransfor Bruk site it makes sense. I may sand it smooth if it bugs me enough but for now going to keep it as is.

My first Gransfor Bruks Axe

 The handle seems very strong, tightly grained hickory with excellent orientation.  I find working with it to be pure joy. I'll grant that it is expensive, but in this case I think you get what you pay for. I would buy it again in a heartbeat

  Workmanship is excellent. The bit is very sharp out of the box. The handle seems very strong, tightly grained hickory with excellent orientation.  I find working with it to be pure joy

Great Little Axe

 I use this ax nearly every single day. It’s an ideal size for having near a wood stove or furnace. I have mine in a small corridor next to my wood stove that’s used to hold wood pre-burn. The ceiling is low (about 6’4”) due to ductwork

 If you’re looking for something that you can handle and will occasionally split small amounts of timber you’ll want this. Worth every penny.

A perfect Ax

 The strap is too long and causes the sheath to come loose when hiking or any kind of movement is involved. I contacted both Kenco and Gransfors in order to remedy this situation but have not heard from them in over 9 days. This is truly unfortunate because, though my experience with Gransfors has been positive thus far, I'm left wondering if this was a vendor issue or if it was manufactured incorrectly. Regardless, the premium price that Gransfors Bruk charges for their axes leaves one hoping that a quality issue such as this would not be overlooked

 I purchased this particular axe through Kenco The Work and Play Outfitter on Amazon. The axe I received had a sheath which was fitted very poorly. The strap is too long and causes the sheath to come loose when hiking or any kind of movement is involved. I contacted both Kenco and Gransfors in order to remedy this situation but have not heard from them in over 9 days

Fantastic axe, poor customer service experience.

The OLFA LA-X stands apart from the competition on account of its long blade &#40;3.25"&#41; that is scored to allow the top section to be broken off to expose a sharper tip section. The blade's length offers a real advantage when cutting along a feature such as a straight edge or in a slot. Conversely, when precision work is required, simply retract the blade to its shortest setting to increase rigidity. Moreover, the handle's rubber inlay combined with the flaring shape enhances the grip and, thus, the cutting control.   
While the LA-X is a practical tool, often one owned in conjunction with a traditional utility knife, it is not without some shortfalls worth mentioning. For starters, the blade carriage is made of plastic which is not nearly as durable as metal. The blade lock is also a bit flimsy. We did not experience any issues with these parts; however, we would not recommend this model as a stand-alone for heavy use. With that in mind, when you need the extra blade length or a fresh edge in quick order, reach for this tool.

  I've seen solutions like this, never on a $10 knife though.  As for the locking mechanism, I think they really hit the nail with this one, it happens automatically as the knob is spring loaded and you never have to think about it.  My advise, if you're an occasional user who's not relying on the knife for heavy duty work, buy it and you won't regret it.  If you're a pro user, there are other solutions out there that are sturdier and more efficient, but not for $10

Great Knife, Good buy - but...

Used one of these knives for a long while and bought a second on Amazon for a backup/lender unit. Right way noticed that the molded plastic blade holder on the new unit was loose but did not worry about it. First week on the job, the blade and plastic holder fell out on job somewhere, couldn't find it, $10 down the drain because too late to return. If your little black plastic blade holder doesn't click in sharp and tight, return right away

Blade holder loose on new knife , fell out on job, lost, of no use, did not return soon enough.

Sturdy, well-designed utility knife; Locking mechanism not for heavy-duty use.

This is definitely on the hefty side. I like that because it stays in the office and it makes it feel substantial in your hand. Depending on your use case this may be a negative. The deploy/retraction mechanism is smooth and solid

Feels great and works as advertised

 It's comfortable to hold, the blade is nice and sturdy and sharp, the lock is pretty much great too. Recommend it

Don't waste your money on cheaper alternatives; this is the better value in the long run. I used to just keep buying those cheapo knives from Harbor Freight 2 for a dollar..

Recommend it; don't waste money on cheaper knives

 I love the retracting action on the handle itself, feels really satisfying in the hand. Really good setup for the price.
