Swedish Splitting Maul & Wedge |
Heavy-Duty Tools Handmade in Sweden
This Splitting Maul, which comes with a leather sheath, is for those jobs that are too tough for even the Large Splitting Axe, as when logs are very large, gnarled, or dry. The Maul is 32" long and weighs 5-1/2 lbs—almost 60% heavier than the Large Splitting Axe—and has an American hickory handle.
One more very important difference between this maul and an axe, though, is that the Maul's poll is designed to be used as a striking sledge, so it can be used together with the Splitting Wedge.
The hand forged Swedish Splitting Wedge weighs 3-3/4 lbs and is 8" long. It has a special spiral shape. so it twists as it is driven into the log, multiplying the splitting forces (an old woodsman's trick). Weighs a very solid 3-3/4 lbs, and 8 inches long

| Swedish Splitting Maul |
| Reviewed By: |
Jim Van Osdell (Beaverton, Oregon) |
| This maul is not only well designed, the head has a slight twist to split open the wood more easily but, is also well balanced and easy to swing.
The unique design clears the wood away from the head thus minimizing the head getting wedged in the piece being struck.
It works well on both green and seasoned wood, large and small. Easy to use one handed to make fine splits for kindling.
I have several mauls and splitting axes and highly recommend this one, which has become my favorite. |
