Large axes are mainly used for heavy chopping and splitting work. Are you done with that job? Then you can further reduce the logs using this hand axe from Talen Tools.

The axe itself weighs 600 grams. In combination with the handle comes the total weight of this tool from Talen Tools to 890 grams.
Why an axe with a fiberglass handle?
The fiberglass handle is strong and low maintenance. Fiberglass wears less quickly than wood and also does not require wax or varnish treatment. It is not susceptible to moisture. However, it is true that fiberglass can give less grip than wood. To ensure that you can still chop safely, the handle is equipped with a rubber grip. This grip is even preformed so that your fingers easily fall around the wood axe. Notice that you get sweaty hands quickly while chopping? Then it is an option to wear work gloves from Talen Tools. Note that these gloves have a coating that gives more grip.

Breader hand axe
Despite the fact that the hand axe is small in size, it doesn't sacrifice in terms of axe capabilities. This is because the axe is widened, which makes splitting wood smoother. Since the heavier splitting work is often already done it is a lesser disadvantage that the handle is somewhat shorter. Moreover, the sharp cut ensures that the wood axe still goes smoothly through the wood. See any cracks in the remaining wood? Position the crack toward you and strike the side. This way you will break the ring tension and the wood will come off easily even with a small stroke.
