Friend that I first met off the gun forum, but have become friends with surprised me with this Gransfors Bruk today.

Wildlife hatchet is the model.

It rode around a while.

A bit dull right out of the sheath but good geometry and symmetrical. It’ll sharpen up just fine.

I was very surprised. In fact I was speechless.

That's awesome. Gransfors makes a great product in my experience.

Yes it was, and I’m very thankful.

This is my first experience with their products, but I am not disappointed at all. The quality is much greater than anything else I’ve experienced.

I sharpened it with a soft Arkansas stone and it took maybe ten minutes to bring it up. And then stropped. It has a razors edge now!

GB’s are great. An awesome gift to last more than a lifetime. He must think a lot of you. Cherish the blade and the friendship.

I do both. He said he doesn’t normally give gifts.

But when he does, he does it right.

The fact it was a gift makes it all the much better.

Looks like a spoon shaping up.

All that chopping and it needs a touch up on the stone. But it’s okay with just stropping.

Packed it around during a nice little walk on Christmas Day.

Me and the boy went for a little walk and came back with a dead poplar limb. We had fun chopping it up then enjoyed the spoils of our labor. Something about it, speaks to the soul.
