Gransfors Bruk Splitting Maul is the heaviest axe produced by Gransfors Bruk and can be used for splitting very thick and knotty chunks of wood. It is forged and ground to a concave, thin blade at the bit. The axe cuts quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. Its weight and sturdy poll has bevelled corners, making the maul perfect for striking a wedge. Its design is similar to the Larger Splitting Axe, but with a slightly longer poll. The handle has a protective steel collar below the axe head and circular grooves towards the end for an extra firm grip. It weighs 7 pounds and its length with handle is 31.5 inches. Sheath is made of vegetable-tanned leather.
