Its replacement handle, the 450H, is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bit is forged and ground to a concave profile with a relatively thin edge, so it bites in easily, and the broader section behind it pushes the wood apart. A steel collar below the head protects the hickory handle, and circular grooves near the end give a secure grip. The long handle gives more striking power and leverage. Don't strike a splitting wedge with it or use it as a wedge; that's the Splitting Maul's job. It comes with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath and The Axe Book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGränsfors Bruk has hand-forged axes in Gränsfors, Sweden, since 1902, when Anders Pettersson formed the company. Its roots go back to a scythe forge Johan Pettersson set up in 1868.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GRF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43063048405214,"sku":"GRF445","price":364.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/1838\/8808\/files\/gransfors-bruk-large-splitting-axe-445-long-handle-web-01.jpg?v=1794608951","url":"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/en-ca\/products\/axe-long-and-large-splitting-w-collar-guard","provider":"Shelter Institute","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
