I'd be afraid to split firewood with a double bit Ax. Just me.

I was a bit like that Jeff when I first got a double bit but now it can
Work in your favour if you get stuck in a log , swing it back over your head into the next log and bang hopefully two logs split haha

I have one shaped like that ,splits firewood pretty good .

Yes as soon as I saw this head I thought the same

 

[ajschainsaws]

It's not the weight that splits with a double bit ,it's the momentum ,they swing real nice ,unless i have real limby knotty wood ,i grab the double bit first ,then the arvika if need a little more power ,if that don't do it it gets tossed to the side for the gas log splitter .

Looks like it would be better for banging wedges. It could even be heat treated on the back side.

That's a rafting style axe and yes they are great for wedge pounding. Usually they are best mounted on a straight handle for that purpose.

makes sense ,they used to make split rail fences out of cedar logs here ,split the whole length of the log so it looks like a triangle sort of

It’s quiet in here

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Yes sir it certainly is.

@ajschainsaws , those look great!

Very narrow head design though.

I am planing to place an order for two new axes to try out on my current firewood log pile.
I am thinking a 1.6-2.0kg Bosnian style like mine and a 2.0-3.0kg "Kranjska".
