Description:
This type of axe is designed for splitting logs or trunk remnants thanks to its shape and its elongated blade, which penetrates very deeply into the wood upon impact.
The metal head is made of high-quality carbon steel #55, heat-treated (hardening+tempering) over a section of 1/3 from the edge toward the eye, for much greater wear resistance.
For enhanced safety during use, the handle is fixed to the head with two wedges: a wooden one that forces the handle wood toward the sides, and a second, cylindrical metal wedge pressed over the first and the handle wood to secure them.
With low weight yet a long handle, the material can be cut with a single blow using inertia.
The handle is made of hardwood, treated and coated with a clear lacquer that resists both impact stress and moisture.
