How to use

Hold the axe with both hands, placing one hand near the end of the wooden handle and the other hand closer to the head for controlled strikes. Position the workpiece on a stable chopping block and swing the axe in a controlled arc to deliver the blade to the target. For splitting, strike near the edge of the log and follow through to allow the wedge of the head to separate fibers. Inspect the handle and head seating before each use and avoid strikes against metal, stone or extremely hard surfaces to prevent damage to the cutting edge and handle.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade sharp and protected with a sheath or cover when not in use. Apply a light protective oil to the wooden handle to reduce drying and cracking. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves, and ensure a clear working area free of bystanders before swinging.
