Broad Axes vary greatly depending on the shape of the head \u0026amp; edge \u0026amp; the angle of the handle. The Broad Axe has three grind options. As a rule, the Broad Axe is ground on both sides of the edge (knife grind). The double-sided Broad Axe is often used for making joints, but also for all sorts of timber \u0026amp; plank hewing. The axe is also available as a special order ground only on one side (scissor grind). On a scissor-ground axe, the side of the head that does not have a ground bevel face is generally flat \u0026amp; on the right-hand side of the edge. The left-hand side of the edge is the ground side. The flat side of the axe is more ‘aggressive’ \u0026amp; is used when the log has to be really smooth, for example when planing structural timbers. The other side is used when the log is to have a slight wave pattern \u0026amp; thus does not need to be as smooth. The reverse scissor grind is also available as the exact opposite of the scissor grind. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e   T\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehis Broad Axe handle is attached straight as standard, with the blade parallel to the handle\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e   Each axe head is hand-forged from special Swedish steel which is then honed, tempered, \u0026amp; annealed to the perfect hardness by the experienced Gränsfors Bruk Swedish smiths who stamp their initials on the head, creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece you'll treasure for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"550\" height=\"60\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eProduct \u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eCutting Edge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eModel #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGränsfors Bruk Straight Broad Axe  -  Straight Handle, Right Bevel  -  Model No. 4803\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-3\/4 lb.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4803\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGränsfors Bruk Straight Broad Axe  -  Straight Handle, Left Bevel  -  Model No. 4802\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-3\/4 lb.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4802\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGränsfors Bruk Straight Broad Axe  -  Straight Handle, Double Bevel  -  Model No. 4801\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\" \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\" \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-3\/4 lb.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n4801\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gränsfors Bruk","offers":[{"title":"Sharpened Bevel on Right - Model 4803","offer_id":39345912184907,"sku":"GFB-4803","price":385.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sharpened Bevel on Left - Model 4802","offer_id":39345912217675,"sku":"GFB-4802","price":385.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Double-Sided Bevel - Model 4801","offer_id":39345912250443,"sku":"GFB-4801","price":385.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/0264\/products\/FinalBroadAxe.jpg?v=1619980625","url":"https:\/\/gethardwickandsonsnap.com\/products\/gransfors-bruk-straight-broad-axe","provider":"Hardwick \u0026 Sons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
