Universal axe GEKO G72215 with a wooden handle and a 1.6 kg forged head, designed for general chopping, splitting small logs, pruning and a variety of outdoor tasks. The tool combines a durable forged steel head shaped for impact work and a traditional wooden haft that provides natural shock absorption and a secure grip. Its balanced weight and straightforward geometry make it suitable for occasional use by homeowners, gardeners and small-scale forestry activities.

Advantages

The forged steel head ensures consistent strength at the blade and eye, while the wooden handle offers vibration damping and an ergonomic grip. The 1.6 kg head weight provides a compromise between cutting power and control, allowing both chopping and light splitting tasks. The simple, serviceable construction makes maintenance and replacement of the handle straightforward when needed.

How to use

Hold the axe with a firm two-handed grip, placing one hand near the head for control and the other at the end of the handle for power. Swing using controlled motions aimed at the target wood, allowing the weight of the 1.6 kg head to do the work rather than forcing excessive speed. For splitting, strike the wood along natural cracks or use small progressive strikes. Regularly inspect the head-to-handle connection and keep the blade sharp and free of nicks for safe, efficient operation.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment — sturdy gloves, eye protection and closed footwear — and use the axe on a stable chopping surface. Store the axe in a dry place to protect the wooden handle and prevent corrosion of the forged head. If the handle shows significant wear or loosening, replace it before continued use.
