How to use

Hold the axe with both hands, placing the dominant hand near the head for control and the other hand at the end of the handle for leverage when performing strong strikes. Aim at the target wood with controlled, smooth swings rather than maximum force to maintain accuracy and reduce the risk of glancing blows. For splitting, position the wood on a stable chopping block and strike the grain lines. Inspect the head and handle before use to ensure the head is secure and the handle shows no cracks or excessive wear.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Keep a clear working area, secure the workpiece, and maintain the axe edge by periodic sharpening. Store the axe in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the forged head and to preserve the condition of the handle.
