The Gransfers Bruks Scandinavian axe is a small axe designed for felling trees. The Hults Bruk Akka is more for general camp use. It has the lightest head of the three. The Council Tool WoodCraft Pack axe is a compact axe more designed for general camp use and carving. The head grind is quite different, and it is made of 5160 steel, which is a extra-tough steel made to withstand chopping and carving with an acute, 25-degree edge. The poll is also hardened so you can pound with it without mushrooming the poll. You can get more accessories with the WoodCraft Pack axe. All of these have short handles -- 24-25 inches -- so you will have limited power but more portability. **Q: Where was the sheath?** A: The sheath comes packaged in cardboard (short of a box without ends) in the same box with the axe. **Q: Is this the latest model with 'usa' and the council logo only, stamped on the axe head?** A: Stamped 'COUNSIL TOOL USA WOOD-CRAFT PACK AXE' on ax head. **Q: The grain on the handle we see in the stock photo isn't straight. Can we guarantee a straight grain on the handles when we buy an axe?** A: It’s hard to say each handle comes from a different tree so the grain differs from handle to handle what you need to be concerned with is if the grain goes in the direction of the ax head by looking at the bottom of the handle it’s not going to be perfect but you don’t get perfect in much much more expensive Swedish ax makers! Mine came in the mail and it was almost perfect but a little love, sweat and oil looks and performs well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, I was truly amazed with my new axe for about one minute; then I used it. (Please see up-date) *by on Reviewed in the United States September 12, 2016* Wow, I was truly amazed with my new axe for about one minute; then I used it. I took it out back to split some wood I needed done to fix lunch. I clipped a knot, and rolled the edge right on over. I have purposely sent my CRKT Chogan Woods through knots with no issues: AT ALL!!! In fact, I finished the knot that rolled the edge on my Council Tool, with the Chogan. Furthermore, the edge does not hold as well as my Chogan either. I thought I was going to get my first truly high end premium axe, and found out I already had something BETTER!!!Overall I was, and am still happy with the fit, and finish, but if the axe head itself isn't any Better than What I have seen so far this is crap!!! I did a lot of research before I bought this axe trying to be sure that when I bought my first premium axe I spent my money right: apparently I did not!!!Then there is the mask, REALLY??? What kind of quality control was done here??? This thing is so lose that I can just pull it off with one FINGER!!! I fixed it with another rivet under the blade to tighten it up so I can take this axe camping for the next few days, and see how it does it the wild: wish me luck, I may need it!!!I will be contacting Council to hear what they have to say about this, and what can be done about it. Maybe, if I get taken care of I may change my rating, but for now I stand by my rating of this axe.Up Date: James K. Elkins, Vice President-Market and Partnership Development for Council Tools, Contacted me back within minutes, and is sending me a new axe right away, and I am sending this one back right away. They want to test it and find out what happened.So Great stuff Council Tool!!!Update: James K. Elkins, sent me a new axe, and I am super happy!!! The new axe is exactly what I really wanted to begin with. I really like the heartwood look, and James selected me one with just a touch of sapwood near the bottom of the haft.The head performs just as expected; the cuts wood like there is no tomorrow!!!Nothing but good things to say about the new axe, and recommend it to anyone wanting a great American made axe that will do whatever you need. I use my axe several times a week and rarely have to touch the edge up on the sharpener.Bottom line, this axe is everything Council Tool created it for, and more. This can be the one tool option if you wanted, for all of your wood processing needs.You can also build a shelter with it, and start a fire.Thanks James, and Council Tool for taking care of me: I am a FOREVER FAN!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best axe I own *by on Reviewed in the United States June 9, 2026* I got a bum handle initially. Head came loose on first day. Council tools took care of me though and replaced with no questions asked.I love this axe though. Punches above its weight class but still light and balanced enough to perform hatchet type jobs. I’m mostly chopping and delimbing with it. It’s a joy to clear brush with.Make sure you give it some oil. The handles come dry (at least on the two I’ve seen).It just looks good too. The head design is fairly unique and while function comes first, the asthetics are there too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice high end axe *by on Reviewed in the United States April 14, 2026* I’ve got a handful of fine axes from Sweden, and this one fits right in. I did have to drill a hole on the bottom of the handle. The handle was well made and the grain alignment is the same as the other high end axes—not a grade A handle. But the handle with BLO polishes up nicely. ## Frequently Bought Together - Council Tool 2 lb.
