Visiting Gränsfors Bruk | Private tour & Blacksmith's class 

As an old man who has done this work my whole life I really appreciate these young folks applying the trade!Am quite surprised by the mechanical hammers as they are very expensive,especially for the young people.I do want the film maker to know that his effort has impressed me very much!!!

Lovely, looks like you had a great time! I know you had :)

That was brilliant! I’ve just bought a 430 so watching this and seeing the process was very cool. Thank you for the tour, excellent work!

Man, I LOVE that sculpture of the fiddling goat.

Brilliant.. I have just ordered one...can't wait for it to arrive

Amazing combination of machinery and hand forging

I bought a Small Forest Axe some years ago. Best Axe I've ever had, you can use them single-handed or double.

What an amazing place to visit! Thank you for sharing this experience and thanks to the men who helped you out. 🙏 Well wishes possitive energy and blessings to ya now Crawford out

Nice! So cool to see the inside of my favorite axe manufacturer!

Great video, what a fun. experience! I have 3 Gransfors axes and have just ordered another. They've never let me down, always a joy to use. I also gave one, a Small Forest Axe, to my uncle about 6 yrs ago and he's used it almost every day since. It looks 50 years old with all the wear and tear on it, and he raves about how much he enjoys it every time I see him.

Wonderful video. The passion for quality axes and tools is so apparent in every corner of that forge.

Great impression Thanks for showing

These first axes look amazing! Great tour!

Fantastic! looks like you had an amazing trip :) good for you. I am fortunate enough to have theyr Wildlife hatchet - what a great piece of kit, to bring while out camping. Thank you for the tour, it was fun to see where my axe was made :)

awesome!! Looks like an amazing trip

Looks like a fun trip. Excellent video

That is an awesome shop!

Fantastic insight.👍🏻🙂

Awesome!

Great video!!👍 Really enjoyed watching it, good to see how they produce their axes. No doubt you had a wonderful time there. Regards from Down Under. P.S. Wish I’d been there with you, looked like you were all having an enjoyable time.

Trevlig liten video! Verkligen häftigt att se hur det går till på Gränsfors Bruk. Tusen tack 🤩

Love the recipe thanks for sharing! I only had a lime in the fridge so I used that, careful cutting into the lime after it comes off the grill, the blast of steaming hot lime juice to the face was a bit of a shocker, glad I had glasses on! It actually scalded my forehead.

Wonderful video thank you for sharing your tour

Cool axe factory.

I own a axe from them, and every time work with it, i know that it would probably last for decads

How F-ing COOL is that!!!

Would love to go there too someday

Länge leve smeden🤗

Vad kul!! jag önskar jag kan gå till Sverige och se det här mig själv någon dag.Jag saknar Sverige jag har inte varit i nio år. Men tyvärr .. biljett från USA skulle bli väldigt Dyrt!

Their steel is first rate. When you are there can you buy any? Best Gransfors Bruk video i have seen. I am only sorry that i understand or speak pretty much zero Swedish.

that is a cool statue if pan

👍👍🤠🤠

👍🤙

I now know the difference between an artisan and a factory. Personally, I prefer the artisan’s product over mass production. Sorry for the short but heartfelt rant.

The way they test the hardness of the axe says that they're well made axes

Have I understood it correctly if the goat in steel (At 1:15 in the video) is their own interpretation of the Gävle goat? For those of you who have no idea about the Gävle goat, take a look at the link. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4vle_goat

I have a small forest axe! 👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼

This was a clean example of the small forest axe! Of the thousands I have seen in the shop and in every shipment, most of them are crooked have horrible forging! With deep depressions around the cheeks! LP and MB(the axe smith of the axe in this video) are the only two smiths in GB who don’t ruin the axe cheeks by deep depressions! LP unfortunately retired a few years back! Thanks for the video

one of my dreams are to go to Sweden, buy 1 axe and made something with you or Mr ThunderBear

I trust wranglestar and he said these guys make great axes

Can you make Tuatahi racing stile axe ??

Axe: power 85 durability 90 weight 5 Hatchet: power 65 durability 75 weight 5 Press "e" to equip.

I had no idea Sweden drove on the right side of the road.

This is why they are as good as they are and why they cost what they do. Second to none.

Is there a USA location

En vacker dag ska jag gå en yxkurs där...

Did you ever ask them how old the masters were?

As fate would have it i have just refurbished my 25 year old sthll chain saw axe ,it was covered with ghastly orange paint mostly worn off but the steel is BETTER AND HARDER than these boutique bulhsits axes , the halft is still 100% as well , sthil is crap now so is life.

Schweden ist ein gelobtes Land! Und die Leute sind auch wunderbar!

Yo, why isn't the steering wheel on the right side of the car.

Is the tour guide speaking finnish or Swedish?

I wonder if you'd be willing to do a 2nd tour like this one...Gransfors Bruks has been suffering some serious quality control issues lately from what I've read. I wonder if something has changed in that factory?

I still have Frederik's business card in my wallet from my time there , have 2 axe blanks also from the scrap bins ,,,, shhh dont tell anyone ( ps Fredrick gave them to me ) still have not made axes from them prob never will.

They use too make cheap axes, and then everything changed
