I’ve chopped some wood in my day, and I’ve never seen any wood chop quite that easily. It makes me wonder if that wood is a special wood that has had the moisture baked out of it.
Combined that might make for some easily chopped wood. Most wood outside is not completely dry, and does not chip anywhere near that easily.
If it truly is the new axe, I’m all for it. That would be a great improvement to say the least.
Pretty cool.
Thanks for the post; link.
Nice. All these years of metal being forged into tools and someone finally builds a better mousetrap.
Kudos!

Save yourself 193 euros. I have been splitting wood for heating purposes for over 50 years. Chopping is much easier if the chopper (that’s the axe, not you) is tilted about 5 degrees as it strikes the block. You get both splitting action and the angled head tends to kick both parts of the block away from each other.
Much the same principle as described in the article on the axe. All with a $5.00 yard sale axe, properly sharpened.
