I have recently acquired (won on the Xmas raffle, supplied by http://www.psmmowers.co.uk) a husky splitting axe. Wow. It's superb. Everything about it feels right. It's ergonomic, it "fits", it starts first time every time and doesn't run hot. It's perfectly balanced, splitting wood is almost effortless, and it comes with a safety scabbard. It's a very modern axe for a very ancient use. (And it's better than the Stihl :thumbup:) I like it.

The perfect splitting axe should curve in 3 planes: cutting edge, front to back and top to bottom and this will reduce the chance of it sticking in the wood.

 

The handle should be slender to reduce strain, so you can use it all day.

 

The axes people rave about seldom meet these requirements despite costing a fortune. Better to look out for a classic British Elwell circa 1945, will work better, be less tiring to use and cost a whole heap less
