Gransfors Bruks Short Double Bit Axe 490-1 Last stock til 2025

Description: The Classic large double bit target throwing axe from Sweden.Double Bit Axes were traditionally used by forest workers in Canada and the USA. The benefit of the Double Bit Axe for forest workers was that each edge could be ground differently, meaning they only needed to carry one multi-purpose axe.Often one edge was ground more finely for use in felling and the other edge was a little blunter for limbing. The Double Bit Axe was eventually so common that it became a symbol of professional forest workers in North America. These forest workers often worked away from civilisation for many months at a time and the range of leisure pursuits was obviously limited, so they amused themselves in spare moments by throwing their axes at a target, usually the end of a log.The Gränsfors Double Bit Axe is based on the North American working axes, but has been modified for use in axe throwing. Both edges are identical and the centre of gravity and handle are carefully positioned so that the axe rotates well in flight. The dimensions and design of the axe comply with the rules for axe throwing.The Double Bit Axe can also be used as a working axe in the forest, and we supply them with a 35" (89cm) handle more tailored for that purpose.Length with handle: 75 cm (29.5")Cutting edge: 16 cm (6.3"), both blades come ground to the same angle.Weight: 1,9 kg (4.2 lb)Comes with a grain leather sheath, the Gransfors Bruk Axe Book and a twenty year forging guarantee.The Offensive Weapons Act 2019 delivery requirements are now in full force.We are required by law to,Age verify the purchaser and recipient areOver 18before dispatch ofany bladed itemfrom our base in Llangollen.Label the package as containing a Bladed Item for Over 18's onlyUse a courier that is contracted to check the age of the recipient on delivery.Our website supplier hasn't got quite up to speed yet so we need you to help.
