Splitting firewood is one of those chores that can feel too good to call it work. A well-balanced axe, a well-aimed swing, the sharp pop of a clean split...that's what you get with a Gransfors Bruks Splitting Axe.
Unlike more common mauls, the splitting axe's blade starts off concave and fairly thin, allowing easy penetration into the wood, whereupon the thickening axe head exerts enormous splitting pressure. Gransfors' large splitting axe, with 3-1/2 lb. head, 3" face & 27" handle, is a superb general-purpose firewood maker. A steel sheath beneath the head reinforces the handle against impact with the wood. Note these axes' polls are not hardened for use as sledges.
Important: Always wear adequate clothing and protection for your face and eyes!
Bought this for my husband's birthday, he LOVED it! Amazing craftsmanship and worked like a dream. He said he never imagined he could split a pile of wood so fast, didn't even feel like work. :) Quick shipping on this item too.
