It's hand forged, the control is still by hand and eye under those dies. The process is mechanical, but it is not automated. It's not possible to get such a clean product by hand or sledge. One heat man, c'mon. Credit given where it's due.
It,s great to see how and were my small forest axe and wilderness hatchet where made , what skill and craftmenship , best money I have ever spent , worth every dollar , cheers from Australia , 🇦🇺👍🙂 .
@@RaduMichael no I don't. But just look at his skill! You can tell he does not have to think anymore. It is "flow". That expert state of mind. I hope he is still alive and well.
What incredible skills. I couldn't even follow his hands, like a magician. And no Wal Mart, you can't f*cking sell that. Thanks for another brilliant video. Glad I found your channel, through the FB group "Wood boat forum's.
I wasn't 100% impressed. if you look real close, the eye isn't perfectly centered. further, the red this slight seem in front of the eye. it looks like a cold shot to me. I'm sure he's a great Smith, but still.
If I remember correctly I read somewhere it was custom made by Arboga about 70-80 years ago. Something like 20 ton multi shaped die hammers moving up and down together. So they had to built the factory near a hydro dam.
Since so many People seem to love and overhype GB, i advise you to search for Müller Hammerwerk Austria. They make tools since 1675. Ask and i explain why i think they are not that good.
No, but a matter of definition, I can't see the blacksmith's hands out of the process. And I would like to see a truly hand-forged ax! No hammers, just hands.
Hey what did you do today? I just used this machine that could tear me apart to beat metal into a form that is more useful than its original form. Oh. So ... you made axe heads? No, I crafted them using magic ... and the power of the gods. For I am ... the god of blacksmithing Hephaestus ... some call me Vulcan. Others Ilmarinen, and yet more revere my name as Völundr. You can call me Jeff.
I agree, this is NOT HAND FORGING! Finished axe in 2 and a half minutes?!? 😂 This is serial manufacturing, all the axes have the same shape due to moulds on the hammers... And after he finished some 50 axes, just put all of them together for a heat treatment... And as I saw on one video before, differential quenching is also automated...
Every Swedish axe that I restore have severe cracking and rusting due to the sharp corner in the front of the eyes. Either they have to be welded or disposed of. I still don't know how the eye develops that way in the manufacturing process, but it is very obvious in this video. In other words, the Swedish axes are not heirloom quality. There is no way for the handle to fill the gap and the dirt and moisture invade. I'm really surprised that these axe makers would allow them to leave the factory. If you are boasting quality products you should at least make them to last.
I appreciate your reply, but this is a GB manufacturing video and the sharp eye is evident here. These GB are some of the worst axes for that. I can almost guarantee that if you flip your GB upside down, you'll see a big gap in the fit. Like I said there is no way for the handle to fill the gap due to the sharp angle of the eye. What HEIRLOOM quality means is that you can pass it down from one generation to the next. Every Swedish axe on the market (that I have seen) are made that way. If there is a sharp corner or edge in the eye, it will only get worse as time goes by. The sharp eye will rust and the repeated force of the blows will only aid in the crack getting worse. The American and Canadian axes have a more rounded eye so the handles have a perfect fit. Also, the excess handle that the Swedes leave protruding from the top of the eye will split in time. Some of these splits will run deep into the handle and once again will allow dirt and moisture in. Once moisture gets in it will lead to rot and rusting of the head. Another problem with the newer axes is the metal wedges that they use. These only crack and split the wood further. If you ever get the chance to restore an antique Swedish axe, you'll know what I'm talking about. Cheers!
that big gap comes from the drifts in the forging process, and almost every axe from gransfors have them exept the splitting axes and mauls and most of the double bits, but if the gap is to big the head get scrapped, but i have several old gransfors and never had a problem with it. the metal wedge is no longer in use in the smaller models, splitting axes and mauls and the felling have the metal wedge but there is probably alot of axes instore that have the wedges.
No problems with my axes. My dad has had one for 17 years and it's been in use every single day. He was the reason I started using Gränsfors - impeccable quality.

This is truely the evolution of
“hand forged”.
One heat. Perfect.
Any blacksmith throughout history would rather this machine to ease their work.

There’s almost nothing “hand forged” here, it’s a hot pressing.
Although the axes are good. 😉

I've seen a few guys at this factory on video now. This guy is by far the best. No wasted heat. One tap at the end. Master.
Do you know his name initials?

I have 5 Gransfors Bruk axes. Love them. Thank you for making them!
Super cool video, Paer. Thanks for sharing!
Very beautiful product that came out. Even more impressive how they are working with that rhythm on many hammers at the same time.
Oh man thats forging press or whatever its called with all the dies on it at once so you never have to change equipment is amazing
I wonder if the guy on the forging press does everything to that same rhythm.
Got to love the way the guy gives it a tap at the anvil at the end!
I have one of there small forest axes and love it. I would love to work there. The smell of hot steel is one of my favorite smells
What incredible skills. I couldn't even follow his hands, like a magician.

this is hell of an editing! amazing job! cinematographer's thanx!
Thanks Yevgeniy. But the beat is given!
all in ONE heat no less!!!
Amazing...and prolly hella expensive, but quality often is.
I wasn't 100% impressed. if you look real close, the eye isn't perfectly centered. further, the red this slight seem in front of the eye. it looks like a cold shot to me. I'm sure he's a great Smith, but still.
Even the machines are into it,if you listen close you can hear ( THE BLADE,THE BLADE,THE BLADE.)
Nice machine & operator.
This is beautiful.
I‘ve ordered a Wildmark Axe, I hope to receive it today... :)
I watched this Video for a several times!
Really you are one of the good machnic,asI hope.
WOW!!! Super!!! Respect ✊
What an amazing thing to watch.
Very nice work
Video hay quá
Jede Axt ist Einzelstück. Süper
more simple than i thought also do they sell them like that or do they take them somewhere else and quench and temper them
I would suspect that all those heads are heated in a furnace to the correct temp, and oil-quenched, then tempered.
bom trabalho .
This is beautiful, but I thought GB axes had a medium carbon body with a high carbon edge forge welded in. Am I wrong?
Fantastic......👍😀🇸🇪
Takes me 2-3 hours of solid work to make a same axe like this,by handforging! :D
falta equipamento de proteçao
What happened with quality control ??? And customer service ???
hypnotic
One heat....!!

Good job

Impressive and quick in making. Should the price be affordable? With current market prices, I thought these axes were made on the moon.
Expensive but worth every cent.

I would like to know the name of the machine
.. is it possible ?

Hi, I need this forging machine in India. Pls let me know how can I buy it. Pls reply.
4 crores for that bro.. Can u afford it?

lost the heat in the steal 1/4 way into the video
Doesn't matter,will be anneiled and then hardened
@@oljefri That matters hugely. if hammered cold, it could crack and break the steel later.
wowwwww
That isn’t hand forging

Heirloom quality? Get a gransfors if you need a dependable axe to use, really, what sort of tool do you buy to hide in the closet for 50 years

No, have 4 different GB axes and not one of them has any gap anywhere between head and hickory
No problems with my axes. My dad has had one for 17 years and it's been in use every single day. He was the reason I started using Gränsfors - impeccable quality.
Lot of that forging was done to "cold" steel; especially the cutting edge. Get stress cracks that way.
I'll be sure to avoid this brand.

The Quality is outstanding👍🏻
No gloves ? Wow.
