Gransfors Bruk 434-2 American Felling Axe is ideal for felling very large trees thanks to its long, broad edge of 4.5 inches. It is considered a professional axe for those who want to work in the forest in the traditional way. The axe is forged to a curved bit, making it suitable for cutting into fresh, resinous wood such as spruce or pine. The heavy head and long handle also give considerable power to the cut. The axe is almost twice as heavy as the Scandinavian Forest Axe. The sheath is made of vegetable-tanned leather.
