Axes & Splitters

Some people think that buying an axe is easy. You can purchase anything, as long as it is light and sharp. However, the reality is that it is not as simple as it seems, especially if it is the first time you will buy one.

Axes are originally used by our forefathers so they could build and hunt. Today, the axes have the same purpose, but technology has allowed them to evolve and be better.

There are different types of axes available, making it challenging to pick one right off the bat. You need to look at the handle first to ensure it is easy to handle while still offering strength and stiffness. It should be durable and can absorb repeated and high-impact blows.

The weight of the head is also significant. A heavy head is suitable for harder and more extensive tasks, including splitting tree trunks. However, if you require the axe for wood carving or any job where cutting is more controlled, a smaller and lighter axe is preferred.
