As it knows how to split whole logs, this splitting axe from Hultafors in southern Sweden is happy to do the heavy work when making firewood. The axe head is hand-forged from Swedish quality steel. Its convex shape, a characteristic feature of every splitting axe, is obvious at first glance: There is a whole splitting wedge inside. The shape and length of the handle made from the best hickory wood are coordinated so that you can optimally control the swing and stroke. This really does make splitting wood easier.
