Splitting Arsenal

Thanks, those round stacks can hold a lot of wood in a pretty small footprint. The method originated in the Alps supposedly, where there isn't a lot of flat ground. I haven't tried that Husqvarna, let us know how it splits if you get one.
 
You are correct, they haven't been discontinued. I was a little confused because I ordered and received the single wing version a few weeks ago, and sent it back because the handle came loose after the first strike. I also noticed at that time that the head was slightly misshapen. I requested a replacement rather than a refund. They responded via e-mail to my wife; "We are providing a full refund because we are investigating the integrity of this particular axe design and are not comfortable sending what could be a flawed model/batch." I actually hadn't read that e-mail myself until just now. So the distributor is just investigating the current batch, the model is still in production. Thanks Steve for getting that cleared up, I hate to spread wrong information.

Wow now that excellent customer service!

Any other wood splitters on here? I'm curious to hear what people are using and what features people like in a splitter. I've been using a lot of different axes and mauls over the last few years and I'm thinking of having a head custom forged that combines all of the qualities that I like in a splitter.

Hey, I have been looking everywhere for a pink axe. lol. can you tell me where you found that one?
 
Exactly, after I bought my Fiskars I figured that axe was junk so I left it outside for a couple of years. Eventually I realized that the Fiskars worked well largely because of its sharp edge and low friction coating, so I put a proper edge on the old junker and polished the wings. Low and behold it's performance increased dramatically so now it's back in the rotation. It's pink now so only those secure in their manhood can wield it.
