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.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
