The Splitting Hatchet 439 bridges the gap between hatchet and splitting axe: a thin edge for initial penetration flowing into a broader wedge profile that pushes the wood apart, all at a size you swing with one hand. It is the fastest way through a kindling pile ever forged.

Like every Gransfors Bruk tool it is hand-forged by a smith in their small Swedish factory and stamped with his initials. The 19-in hickory handle carries a steel collar guard below the head for the overstrikes that one-handed splitting invites. The flexibility of a one-hand tool with real splitting geometry earns it a permanent spot by the wood stove. Not for driving wedges; that is the maul's job.

  • Model: 439, splitting hatchet
  • Handle: 19 in hickory with steel collar guard and grooved grip
  • Total weight: approx. 3.3 lb
