Key Features & Benefits
Purpose‑Built Splitter – Deep wedge profile drives fibres apart, making quick work of firewood rounds and logs up to medium diameter.
Power & Leverage – 710 mm handle and 2.2 kg mass deliver high striking momentum while still controllable for repeated swings.
Low‑Friction PTFE – Coated cheeks reduce sticking, so the axe exits the wood easily and speeds up the splitting cycle.
Vibration‑Damping Handle – Glass‑fibre shaft absorbs shock and withstands overstrikes far better than traditional hickory.
Secure, Comfortable Grip – Textured rubber sleeve stays grippy when wet or gloved; flared pommel prevents hand slip on full‑force strikes.
Durable Edge – Induction‑hardened bit resists dulling and can be re‑sharpened to keep performance high season after season.
Safety Sheath Included – Protects the edge (and you) when transporting between woodpile, campsite, or shed.
