Long & Large Splitting Axe w/ Collar Guard

The Gränsfors Bruk Long & Large Splitting Axe can be used for splitting all types of firewood. It is forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit. The Long & Large Splitting axe cuts quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. The handle has a protective steel collar below the axe head and circular grooves towards the end for an extra firm grip. Splitting axes should not be used for striking a wedge or used as a wedge. Only the Splitting Maul is designed for this. Model: 445 Length: 31.5"  Weight: 5 lb
