The Small Splitting Axe 441 can be managed with one hand, and it splits far above its weight: the bit is forged and ground concave and quite thin, so it enters fast, then the thicker body pushes the wood apart. Hand-forged by a Gransfors Bruk smith in Sweden. The replacement handle is stocked here.
