Frequently Asked Questions

An axe is best used for felling and chopping wood. Axes feature a long handle, and they usually range from 24 to 36 inches. A hatchet is designed for smaller tasks, such as limbing and splitting firewood. Hatchets are more compact than axes and commonly range from 12 to 18 inches. A splitting wedge is designed to split firewood. Splitting wedges usually range from 6 to 12 inches long with a blunt end to resist deformation when struck with a sledgehammer.

The size and weight of an axe should be chosen based on the user's strength and the intended use. A smaller, lighter axe is easier to swing and is suitable for smaller tasks, such as limbing and splitting firewood. A larger, heavier axe is more powerful and is suitable for felling trees.

There are three main types of axe heads: felling, splitting, and combination. Felling axe heads are designed for chopping down trees and have a thin, sharp blade. Splitting axe heads are designed for splitting firewood and have a thicker, wedge-shaped blade. Combination axe heads are designed for both felling and splitting and have a blade that is a compromise between the two.

Axes require regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. The blade should be kept sharp by using a file or whetstone. The handle should be kept tight by driving in the wedges if they become loose. The axe should be oiled regularly to prevent rust.
