Yesterday, I chopped kindling with two Leborgne axes. I always see guys on YouTube cutting down trees but leaving the branches, even big ones! i use a laying log as a block .and as leborgne means one eyed i checked and it's allright axes are one-eyed!
the job is quick, and compared to splitting quite relaxing...

I had two slip-fit axes, a hatchet, and a fine axe for chopping.
Hatchet: 800g, 50cm, 1.76lb, 19in
Axe: 1.5kg, 72cm, 3.3lb, 28in
