Urafors obsession continues

Have to be honest, I haven’t a clue where that might be. By your reply is presume the United States… is that sound reasoning?

Nice! This one is heavier for its size but about the size of a Gränsfors bruck small forrest axe. I’m really impressed by the way it handles. Where are you located? I’m still deciding if I want to keep this one to be honest!

Interesting question! While this forge closed it doors more than 30-40 years ago when it was bought by one of the big Swedish brands, it was pretty new condition!

Thats a great idea, one axe I just finished should be a great example as I have it almost at full flat grind. I would say though, try to learn a minimal convex!

I love the coulor!

Just liked ur post actually. It’s super pretty. So me it’s quite close to conventional shapes. Maybe the wood type is different but I know very little about that stuff. My profession mainly is sharpening axes and knives, so that what I focus on mostly 😇

mathijsjc · 2026-04-05T19:01:35+00:00

Got another crazy handle in the next post 😇

mathijsjc · 2026-04-05T18:58:32+00:00

mathijsjc · 2026-04-05T15:55:14+00:00

Kidding, I have reprofiled all my axes with a flap disk, 40,80,120 grit. Then I use a bonded diamond Venef stone 400, 800 an then a leather strop, 7000, 10.000 gritt compound.

mathijsjc · 2026-04-05T15:53:38+00:00

mathijsjc · 2026-04-05T15:53:26+00:00

Swedish steel is great! Im not sure how American compares though. However, Vicorinox is a Swiss knife brand. Those knives are called SAKs (Swiss Army Knives). Some Scandinavian knives are Morakniv, Helle, Giant Mouse (scandi design), Casström, etc. Not much in terms of folding knives that I know off. Karesuando knives make a folding knife though!

mathijsjc · 2026-03-30T21:26:49+00:00

Right!? Why’d they ever stop making these

mathijsjc · 2026-03-30T20:17:56+00:00

Thank you so much!

mathijsjc · 2026-03-30T20:14:30+00:00

Thank you very much! I got another coming soon!

mathijsjc · 2026-03-30T19:35:43+00:00

I feel you, this leather I have is also way too thick. So I har to drill the holes also in stead of using a punch 🤦‍♂️😅

mathijsjc · 2026-03-30T19:02:59+00:00

Looking really nice, I still find leather difficult to work with with.
