You need a leveraxe.

That new axe is high-tech amazing!

And I looked into it some time ago, and concluded that the severe twisting motion was no good. It's a gimmick.

If anyone here chops a lot of wood, and tries the leveraxe, please post here and let us know your experience.

Just came in after 5 weeks on backorder.

Its a small version of a traditional Scandinavian forest axe. 3 1/4", 2lb head, 19" handle.

...

Gränfors Bruk is a small 30 person forge in Sweden. Each one is custom crafted by a blacksmith, who strikes their initials into the head of each one.

...

Came already sharpened with a mirror finish. It is certainly the nicest axe I have ever owned. Intend to use it as a backpack/camping axe, and keep in in my truck in between.

Got mine yesterday. Thanks for the ordering tip. It's a thing of rugged beauty. Should have ordered two.

Thanks! I checked the book, which also had the names. I got an MB, which I believe is a female smith. I also ordered another. I actually got the first as a bday gift for a friend with a wood burning stove that uses it as a primary heat source in winter. He has larger axes and a shed that keeps cords of wood, but this would make a nice complement for the inside of the home.

Problem was that I liked it too much after getting it, so now I needed a second so I could have one too.

I got a new firepit for the backyard yesterday and used that excuse to go out and limb some fallen trees for of kindling. It is nicely balanced and the gentle slope of the bit cut aggressively. The handle is perfectly shaped for its length, and just long enough to get some good chopping power. And you can slide the strap of the cover through your belt and carry it that way as you hold the wood on the way back.

They don't recommend using the poll for heavy pounding, but I think it is fine for tasks like tentpegs.
