I'm going through some of my kit for a sort out and I've come across this beastie.
It's a Gränsfors Bruks Swedish Broad Axe designed for squaring logs.
Just so that it's clear, the blade is angled to the handle so that the bottom edge is towards you in the picture above. It is single bevelled.
This has been a working axe but treated fairly, it's no drawer queen. It's reasonably sharp but a bit of love and attention would do it no harm.
These sell at about £130 - 140 so I think a price of £70 delivered at the Moot or £80 delivered by mail is a fair price. Now Sold
