The largest in the line, for people splitting wood not for a barbecue but for winter. The long ash handle allows a two-handed swing, and the wide forged blade in U8A carbon steel bites deep into a log and splits it without wasted strikes. It carries comfortably on the shoulder: a leather guard covers the blade, and the shoulder strap leaves your hands free for the basket. This axe is bought once, then passed down along with the shed.
