This is technically not an axe, it is a splitting maul . The main difference is that an axe is designed to cut across the grain and parallel to the grain . This tool is only for splitting with the grain as the way you used it . Axes are lighter so as not to tire the user , mauls are heavier to increase the momentum of your swing . The wedges on the sides act to put pressure on the sides of the split . There are several designs similar to this one , basically incorporating a splitting wedge with an axe , and the weight of a sledgehammer. At 75 years old l prefer my hydraulic wood splitter .

Agreed! There’s a mechanically simpler Swedish version-it has an asymmetric profile with a sort of hook on one side. When it enters the wood, it twists to split the wood along the grain. Apparently very effective and highly regarded.

Wow, that is some serious nostalgia for me right there. Saw the thumbnail, and thought, "That's a Chopper!" My dad was given one as a gift when I was a teenager, and it turned me into Paul Bunyan. I LOVED using this thing, especially in autumn. We had a fireplace and I made sure we had plenty of firewood every winter. The Chopper was awesome. I would use one large, wide diameter log, usually about 8-12" high as my base, and I'd split all of the other wood on top of it. This thing would just blow the wood apart. Never had any problem with it. Worked wonderfully for many years. Wish I knew what happened to it. Hadn't seen one like it until just now, all these years later. Wonderful job restoring it. (and editing the video, too)

Dan the Man, great story. You write a lot like I do. You have that gift. Great nostalgic story. I’ve written and published many stories, but now I’m just a guy who writes long comments few people read on KZread channels like this. Just for the writing skill alone, I’d love to give you a thousand “likes” but I’m restricted to only one. Loved the Paul Bunyan reference. Your story flowed so well and I was captivated. That’s something I rarely see these days. I don’t know if you’re a writer but you did what all good writers do. You put us readers in your time and place and we could feel it. Great job my friend. I played Paul Bunyan as a kid, chopped wood for our fireplace, but I don’t remember ever using this axe. Or even seeing this axe before. The built-in hinged wedges have been done before, but I had to watch this video twice to understand the mechanical advantage here. Great old axe, and such a great story of your childhood experience and love for them. Thanks for the rare occasion I get to read an interesting and well-written story on KZread.

Had one as well-bounced off every damn log. You had to have a perfect species of wood and not too dry or too wet. And then we had a "grenade" which was a round, pointed splitting wedge- Had to use another wedge to get it unstuck. All gimmicks. Best hand splitter maul is Fiskars Iso Core. Best kindling maker is the the Cracker (ring around an upside-down splitting head). YMMV.

In 1976 I was 14 years old and lived in New Jersey. My father was a mechanic and a fabricator to the extreme. He liked things that seemed odd but made the job easier. We had a wood burning stove and it was my job to split the wood we used to heat our home. This very ax was one my father bought new for me to use to split the wood we used which was red oak. We never used pine as it gave off creosote and caused devastating chimney fires. That is how it was. This very ax I used up until I left for the USAF when I graduated high school at age 18. When I came home for leave I would tend to the splitting of wood and again, this very ax served me very well. Call it weird but it split better then any other ac or wedge and sledge hammer we had. I split an average of 2 cords a week. We had a big home and a very inefficient wood burning stove. It wasted more material then it needed to but still, I never had a better splitting ax as this. Thank you for bringing this one back to life...

But other mauls weren't necessarily better. Some logs just take a wedge-and-hammer or a power splitter.

Mr. Palmer is correct. This is not an axe but a maul. The wedges do two things, the main is to keep the maul from sinking too far into the wood. If you don't really know what you're doing, you'll spend more energy working your maul out of the grain than splitting. In the process of contacting the wood the wedges serve to disperse the energy of the swing more broadly through the grain. Without the wedges the energy of the swing / momentum drives down into the wood in a narrow slice. The wedges disperse this energy to do more damage. As well, when using a maul without these wedges you have to really know what you are doing and impart as much force into the swing as possible, so as to make enough damage that the maul can easily be removed from the grain. With the wedges, the maul is stopped and easily removed. This allows the user to take an easier swing and allow the force of the extra weight to do the work. However, unless the grain is extremely twisty, an experienced wood chopper with a decent properly sharpened 5 - 7 lb axe can split wood like a machine.

У нас колуны как бритвы не точат, не нужно это им, да и для колки дров обычный колун лучше, ну или гидравлический, если здоровья не хватает)) А в остальном работа хорошая

It’s not made to be so sharp. Like others have said, it is a maul for splitting wood only. Weight of the head and lever action of wedges make for an effective splitter.

This is not an axe, it is a splitting maul. I first used one around 1975-76, and it was old then.

@@TheRussianWoodworker - Yes, but that's just a marketing ploy. Of course it can be used as an axe, so it's not wrong to call it one. But it's chief strength is splitting what is already chopped down. Nice video, by the way!

I have that same one & I love it.

It's a wood splitting maul. You use an axe to chop tree limbs or trunks down to size across the wood grain and a maul to split those pieces along the grain.

The little spring-loaded fingers put so a big energy spike into the logs, it would be so cool to see it slow-motion
