Its not only women that love expensive, hand made, one a kind gifts, imported from Sweden for their birthday. Men love these things also. My wife, who loves me, bought me such a gift. It is a Gransfors Bruks imported from Sweden. Made by the master forger Ulrick Nilsson himself. This hand forged double-bit axe was made by Gransfors Bruks of Sweden and they have been making them since 1902. They have a waiting list to get their axes hence the arrival of mine just after my birthday. Why would one want such a wonderful tool/peace of art you might ask?? Well, I like things simple and when felling a tree for firewood to heat our house I like to get a workout. They say fire wood warms you twice, once when you cut it and once when you burn it. I say it warms you five times, when you cut it, when you split it, when you stack it, when you move it into the house and when you burn it. Not many things last a life time or two or three, but this axe will and I love it. Thank you for a wonderful birthday present Suzanne, Kass, Sydney, Erin and Jessica.
