A SMALL, OUTDOOR SPECIALIST RETAILER, OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT TESTER
Prandi is an Italian company specialising in cutting tools for nearly fifty years. Their level of expertise and craftsmanship means they are able to produce some of the finest axes in Europe. All the edges are hardened, hand-finished and polished to a fine edge for the ultimate cutting tool.
Specifications:
It is illegal to dispatch any bladed tool without passing the age verification process.
After placing your order, you must complete the age verification step immediately. Failure to do so will result in delays or cancellation of your order. This is a legal requirement for all UK knife retailers.
For all age-restricted items, we use Royal Mail Tracked services within the UK. This ensures compliance with legal obligations and provides secure, trackable delivery.
We offer free shipping on orders over £100. Orders under £100 are charged a flat rate of £5.99. Some long, heavy, or oversized items may incur additional shipping costs, which will be clearly shown at checkout.
Drew personally packs all orders. Please allow up to 2 working days for dispatch. This allows time for order processing, age verification, and maintaining personal customer service standards.
Average delivery is 3–5 working days. Many parcels arrive sooner, but delays may occur if age verification is not completed promptly.
Drew has over 20 years of experience in e-commerce, logistics, and fulfillment — and personally handles every aspect of your order. You're in safe hands, and we’re here if you need support.
Wylie's Outdoor World's owner, Drew, also handles all returns and exchanges personally.
We offer a 30-day (from the date of purchase) return and exchange policy. You may return most new, unopened, unused, and unworn items within 30 days of your order for a refund or exchange. You must contact us within 14 days of delivery to initiate the return process.
Some products (such as used batteries and underwear) are non-returnable. Returned items must be in a resellable, brand-new condition to qualify for a refund or exchange.
Log into your account, view your order using the “Complete Orders” link under the My Account menu, and click the “Return Item(s)” button. Indicate whether you’d like a refund or exchange. Drew will confirm and issue instructions (including invoice if exchanging), then await the returned item.
Refunds are typically issued within one week of receiving the returned item.
Please allow 3–5 working days for returns or exchanges to be processed once your item arrives. Most are handled faster, depending on workload.
Prandi Axes – A Hands-On Review
I first brought Prandi axes into Wylies Outdoor World through Mora Distribution, and as always, I wanted to test them myself before offering them to customers. Over the past seasons, I’ve put several of the range to use, from the compact hatchets right up to the largest felling axe.
Build Quality
The first thing that stands out is the craftsmanship. Prandi axes are forged in Italy, and you can feel the attention to detail. The heads are solid, well-finished, and hold a good edge. The hickory handles are shaped for comfort and balance, giving you plenty of control whether you’re splitting kindling or swinging into heavier rounds.
Performance
What impressed me most was how well they handle real work. The smaller hatchets are ideal for camp use — light, packable, and dependable for food prep, firewood, or general bushcraft. The larger models, including the big felling axe, are more than capable of processing serious amounts of firewood. They bite cleanly, split effectively, and don’t wear you down as quickly as some poorly balanced axes can.
Value for Money
While there are more expensive axes out there with big-name recognition, Prandi sits in that sweet spot of affordability without sacrificing reliability. They aren’t just display pieces — these are working tools designed to be used, and they perform far above their price point.
Final Thoughts
Prandi axes bring traditional European craftsmanship together with practical design, and after using them myself, I’m more than happy to recommend them. Whether you’re a camper looking for a versatile hatchet or someone stocking up on firewood for the winter, there’s a model in the range that will do the job and do it well.
