I have a lightly used Gransfors Bruks splitting maul I would like to trade. I have kept the head oiled with gun oil and oiled the handled with BLO a couple of times. I would be highly surprised if I have split a half of a cord with it. I have other mauls that are not as nice that I grab first only because this one is so nice or use my fiskars because I leave it in the truck just to preserve this one. I dont recall what these sell for but would really rather just trade this. It was given to me and while I hate to get rid of it I hate for it to sit here unused even more. I have owned it just over a year. Would really like to trade for a Wetterlings appalachian forrest axe but would also consider a maul by Mueller, GB scandinavian forrest axe, Velvicut bad boys bad axe, vevlivut large felling axe or Wetterlings scandinavian forrest axe. Looking for something at least as big as a scandinavian forest axe and on the same quality level as GB. The sheath is in new condition but will oil it with Obenauf's before I ship it. Thanks for looking.

I've actually been in the market for a nice axe recently also. I've done a lot of research and if you decide to buy one outright, check out the Husqvarva forest axe. It's a helluva deal for the money. I've read that they are produced by either wetterlings or GB. They have a hand forged Swedish steel head, and hickory handle. I've seen them for as little as $72 shipped, which as you know, is less than half of what a GB or Wetterlings would cost you.
I just thought I'd share that with you [emoji4]

Well, thank you for the info! I don't know much about hults bruks. Are they of the same caliber as wetterlings and GB?

To be honest I dont know much about them. They dont seem to have the following of wetterlings or GB BUT thats not to say they arent of the same caliber. I think they are also hand forged and very high quality. As high as GB? Cant say but I'd bet a dollar they are a sight better than most of the big box stuff.

Any idea of selling outright let me know.would really like to try out one of these.have a gb double bit but wouldn't take a million for it.
I have had others ask to buy outright. I may have to go that route but right now only looking to trade. I will post up if I decide to sell vs trade.
Thanks for the interest.

If you sold you Gransfors, what kind of money do you want for it outright? I have one and use it, I wouldn't mind having two if the price is right.

I appreciate the offer but that would be too close to the weight of this maul. I was really looking to trade for something lighter like a felling axe or something heavier like a mueller maul.
$125 plus shipping.
No worries. I was just throwing it out there. I use it to drive wedges and it will split kindling down.
No, I didnt. I thought with the change in format to the trading post this add may be gone. After I posted the add I ended up using it a little and it wouldnt hurt my feelings to keep it. Not that I need it, its just such a nice tool and I have a thing for well made tools. I dont need to sell it, just I would pass it along to try something different. Would still trade it for a mueller maul or a wetterlings or GB american felling/forrest axe.
I have a new Gransfors Bruks splitting axe; but I'd like a GB maul instead for splitting Florida Live Oak as the maul looks bigger, heavier and better suited to the iron-like hardness of Live Oak. Interested? Thanks, tim
