Survival Axe for UK Preppers

Survival Axe for UK Preppers 

Although a Survival Axe makes a good alternative weapon in the UK, it’s primary use is in a preppers survival kit and Bug Out Bag. 

The survival axe is high up on a preppers list and must be taken seriously as an essential bit of survival kit.

Considering the type of work that is expected from a survival axe, it is definitely necessary to buy quality and avoid the cheaper products out there at the moment.

This is my REVIEW of one of the best survival axes available today – The Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe

Main features of the Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe - 

• Will fit into a survival rucksack
• Includes a leather safety carry hood
• 19″ Hickory wood handle – I found this a perfect size
• Good size chopping head – 3 1/4″
• The edge holds its sharpness 
• Will cut through a 6″ diameter timber with ease
• Easy to handle and precise when preparing kindling wood
• Extremely comfortable handle

It was very difficult to find fault with the axe and maybe being picky I would say that for the bigger jobs a larger axe would be more suitable – maybe if you had to do a lot of log splitting – but generally this is a 5 star Forest Axe.

The one thing that made me think twice about purchasing was the slightly higher price over a Gerber or the Husqvarna Hatchet, but I have seen reviews where they have been slagged off for poor quality and fini

The very last thing I want in any survival situation is have inferior tools, especially something as important as a survival axe, which can be a life saver – however, to prove the quality Gransfors put their money where their mouth is by ensuring each and every one of their axe heads is individually forged and stamped by the smithy who made it AND offer you a 20 year guarantee against any defective workmanship – now how good is that….

So, all in all,  this a nice bit of survival kit that is well worth getting
