SPLITTING MAUL
SPLITTING
HANDFORGED AXES
LARGE SPLITTING AXE
Powerful axes made for splitting logs and large chunks of
wood. Splitting axes are meant to split the log along the
grain, not cut it. Therefore the cutting edge is shaped at an
aggressive angle and the bit is ridged. This makes splitting
easier and ensures the axe doesn’t get stuck in the wood.
The splitting maul has a tempered poll that can be used in
combination with a splitting wedge that is both twisted and
rippled to deal with the most gnarled logs.

Care instructions
An axe from Wetterlings is made to last. However, you will need to take good
care of your axe in order for it to retain its functionality over time.
MINI-AXE
Sharpening your axe
Sharpen your axe regularly. Use a whetstone or a wet grinding stone.
Oiling and greasing
Oil or grease the axe head now and again to avoid rust. Store your axe in a dry
place, though not too warm.
