Splitting axe

[Warren1]

Used a few including the fiskars, but always go back to my gransfors Bruks.

John neeman, autine axes are great quality. Look them up on google they have a site. I have just ordered the felling axe from them

[Mark Bolam]

I've used most things and only got the Gransfors maul for Christmas, although I've had their large splitting axe for years and its superb on straight grained stuff, but a little light.

All I can say is I wish I'd bought the maul 30 years ago.

Mark , got the maul as well ,proper tool just wish they did a longer handle for it.

Just to introduce a wild card, this device has been the subject of discussion on the bodgers.org.uk forum: KIRVES: Heikki Vipukirves

The basic idea seems to be that the axe turns to one side after penetrating a short way, levering the billet off. Ingenious.

I hear you mate.

I'm a shortarse with gibbon arms but a 31" shaft is probably not long enough for bigger lads.

I'd like to see that in action Beardie.

Might be great in easier stuff but a nightmare when it was gnarly?
