Krumpholz Splitting Axe - 2000g Head Weight - Hand-Forged Tool for Easy Firewood Splitting

Splitting logs for firewood is a demanding chore that requires maximum striking power and a specialized head design. The Krumpholz Splitting Axe is the ultimate tool for processing wood, engineered by a European family blacksmith with over 220 years of tradition. Featuring a substantial 2000-gram (2 kg) head weight forged from premium steel and a high wedge angle, this axe is specifically designed to cleave wood apart easily, ensuring powerful, low-effort splitting of firewood with maximum efficiency.

Best For The committed home woodlot owner or property owner who appreciates master-forged tools and requires a heavy, long-handled axe for efficiently splitting large quantities of firewood and processing logs.

Key Features

• Master Hand-Forged Quality: Crafted by Krumpholz, a traditional European blacksmithing company since 1799, this head is forged from premium steel for maximum toughness, balance, and guaranteed lifelong durability.

• Specialized High Wedge Angle: The head features a wide, high wedge angle that drives the wood fibers apart upon impact, resulting in easy splitting of firewood with less physical effort compared to a standard felling axe.

• Heavy 2000-Gram Head Weight: The concentrated 2kg weight provides maximum momentum and splitting power, ensuring the axe easily cuts and cleaves through large, stubborn rounds of wood with fewer swings.

• Optimal 80cm Leverage: Fitted with a robust 80 cm Hickory handle (Assumed based on K0019 Forestry Axe), providing the ideal length and necessary leverage for controlled, powerful, two-handed swings.

• Superior Shock Absorption (Hickory): The durable Hickory handle significantly dampens impact vibration, reducing fatigue and strain during prolonged splitting sessions.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
