  • The BEST maul style axe around.
Size: Log Splitter - 6.5 lb Head - 36 inch Handle
I have many mauls, splitting axes, chopping axes and felling axes. I got them all. As far as a splitting axe / maul, this is the BEST of them all. Friskars Gransfors Bruk Eastwing Husqvarna These are the BEST axe manufacturer. I have this one to pop the monsters in half and quarters then use their splitting axe to make firewood. This is a little heavy for using to make firewood. But it’s a true beast. It splits everything. 36” handle gives some serious momentum with a poorer full swing. I’ve busted and popped fresh maple. Stringy nasty wood is no match. It even surprises me with heavy knotty wood. I still need to use wedges for some of the knotty wood, but this has limited the amount of times I need to. It’s a true bruiser. I bought a 2nd one just because I NEVER want to be without it. I split 5-6 cords a year by hand. This has saved me so much energy it’s well worth the money. I had a friskars as my main maul. You get what you pay for. The Friskars usually sticks in the wood but doesn’t split or pop big logs like this does. It usually stuck in then I hit it with a sledge to use instead of a wedge. It was a lot of energy spent and much more work. This thing puts the friskars to shame. With a powerful swing, even the toughest and largest woods will pop. The only problems I have had is very fresh knotty maple. The only thing splitting that stuff is a hydraulic log splitter. 8’ to 12” dia logs are no problem to bust in half with one swing. You can pop them and not split through if you control your swing. Then flip- over and rotate 90 set and swing away. You just made 4 perfect fire logs and look like Paul Bunion! Take 20-40” rounds and bust them into 4-6 pieces with this beast, then use their splitting axe to make the firewood to throw in your racks. . I can’t say enough about this monster. I highly recommend it. It is not made to make firewood logs. You can use it for that but it’s heavy. Their splitting axe is better to use after you bust the big logs up with this. This is more of a maul. But no hitting the back with a sledge. You aren’t supposed to do that with this axe. It’s not made for that and not needed. A+++++++++++ rating. I’ve heard the customer support is great also, but have never had to use them. ... show more

  • WOW!!
Size: Log Splitter - 6.5 lb Head - 36 inch Handle
When I first received this axe, I was disappointed in the handle, as it was slightly bowed and had a horizontal grain orientation. I called the company and received a level of customer service that is unfortunately very rare these days. The gentleman listened to why I was dissatisfied, apologized and calmly, non defensively explained how the handles are selected and tested for quality. He also explained how to properly use the axe, as it is not a maul or a typical splitting axe. He also reminded me of why it is important not to get tunnel vision with grain ordination on these tools. It can certainly play a roll in the handle quality, but is by no means the most important aspect of the wood to pay attention to. He promptly sent me out a new handle, which is perfect, and happens to have the most vertical grain orientation I've ever seen in an axe ;) AND, they said I can keep the other handle to use as a spare should I ever need it. Now on to the how the axe performs. WOW! I have been splitting firewood every year for the past 35 years. This is hands down the best splitter I have ever used. I am splitting green and dry oak, cherry, maple and black locust. The splitting quality's I look for are balance, amount of energy used to lift and swing coupled with effectiveness in splitting. For me, the weight of the head, in conjunction with handle geometry and length, make an axe that is easy to lift over and over and over, while using very little effort on the down swing to split wood. When there is a big knot, effort is required on the down swing, but it splits where others fail and a sledge hammer with wedge is required. I will most certainly be recommending this splitting axe to my friends. Oh, and the sheath, outstanding quality. ... show more

  • I Like It
Size: Log Splitter - 6.5 lb Head - 36 inch Handle
I'm not a woodsman (though chopping logs is kind of fun), and with this High Quality battle Axe, I feel like Woodsman of the month. I've managed to get to using this beauty and have chopped for a few hours, logs lying around. After done, I can say it was a good job done and with this axe, it made it more enjoyable and easier (at least for the bigger hunks of logs, for the smaller pieces, I will need something lighter for the purpose). About this Vario 2000, it is solidly built, looks nice, feels good in the hand, has good hefty weight to it, and with the included small bottle of Axe Guard oil, it looks almost sparklingly new again after I wiped her down. It also comes with a holster to keep the Axe blade in. All in all, I am very pleased with the Axe, and would like to say thanks to Mr. Spencer Holst, for the great service and care of inquiring me about my thoughts regarding the Axe--I like it! Thank you, Sir. And for anyone looking for an Axe to bring it down with, this one will do very well, and especially if you got the arm and the logs for it, it'll do even better! Stay alright, all. ... show more
