WesSpur has brought on the great axes from Gränsfors Bruks. These are quality tools, with unparalleled attention to craftsmanship. Before industrialism axes were forged at many small smith's shops. The form and structure of the axe were decided by the function of the axe, the demands of the user and the craftsmanship of the smith. The axes and the production of axes at the Gränsfors Bruks forge follow the traditions of the small smithy, but has also established five fundamentals to which all the smiths adhere. 1. An axe becomes as good as its smith. 2. Unnecessary stoning, grinding, epoxy fixing, painting and other cosmetics are eliminated. 3. More sensible production demands less natural resources at the same time as the quality and durability of the axe increases. 4. We have an unlimited responsibility for Total Quality. Working conditions, product quality and concern for nature are some of the parts of the Total. 5. High level of knowledge of a product will increase its value. The Gränsfors Bruks "Axe Book" is one such way to spread information. These axes are quality crafted tools.
Due to a fire at the warehouse of our distributor, Gränsfors Bruks axes are available in limited quantity until further notice. Items marked as "out of stock" may still be ordered, but will not ship until back in stock. We apologize for any inconvenience.
