Classic Croatian maul vs. my Dragon Slayer ax.
Old folk swears on never sharpening a mauls blade, sounds counterproductive to me.



I gave the maul a couple swings, it does its thing through brute weight, no splitting sophistication whatsoever.

My 6lb Aussie is shaped like that and is the best in Euc @Wilhelm

If I could find an 8lb cheap I’d buy it

Not sure if it's a Michigan or Dayton pattern?
Michigan patterns do really well in my neck of the woods (1 mile from 1.2M acres of hardwood National Forest).
I dont particularly like the looks of them, but they seem to perform better here than any other pattern I've tried.
The Legitimus is pretty convex so I'm confident it will serve well here.

You are a metal worker, slap a 2lbs steel plate on the back of that 6lbs head!

My 18yo daughter had some fun using these 2 yesterday. She’s definitely going to be grabbing the 8 pounder when she splits, she started with the 6 pound splitter, but when she got to the 8 pound splitter she was smiling, said it just works !!!!

We were splitting white oak and hickory

LOL I actually just got one of these in 8# for cheap and plan to do a little re profiling. Just curious how they worked?

Exactly I couldn't pass it up.

They worked great in fresh hickory and fresh white oak. To me, their profile is perfect, my 18yo daughter got them both stuck a few times,

but I didn’t have that problem. They just blew apart most everything they were aimed at, not a single split was within 6 feet of the stump, and most of those close ones were big enough to split again

So I had a little hatchet envy and found this I overpaid it was 50 bucks but bought it and cleaned it up to give to my mom for Christmas. Had to sharpen it as the edge was kinda beat up.

Sweet!
They are getting pretty scarce.
No worries about $50.
They wont ever go down in value.
