   • Battle axes. Battle axes came in a huge range of sizes and shapes, all designed to perform specific tasks in combat. Some were huge devices like the bardiche that was a type of polearm with a huge blade, ideal for breaking up units of horsemen.
   • Boy’s axe. A boy’s axe, aka cruisers, is a medium-sized axe that’s an all-rounder for any age (and gender), not just boys. Although they’re not designed for cutting down large hardwood trees, they’re good for splitting kindling, cutting down saplings, pruning, and trimming branches.
   • Broad axe. A broad axe, or hewing axe, is a purpose-built tool to help carpenters transform round logs into timber with a flat edge. The axe head has one flat side and one side with a beveled edge, great for chopping.

   What is the difference between a splitting axe and a felling axe?

   • Felling axes are generally lighter and more nimble, but their narrow head geometry makes them more likely to stick into the log than the chunkier splitting axes. Splitting wood effectively with a felling axe requires a technique-oriented swing.

   How to choose the best length axe for splitting wood?

   • Choosing the best-length axe for splitting wood depends on several factors. There is great variation on handle length and choosing the right one depends to a large extent on the type and size of wood to be split. A longer handle is suited to splitting bigger pieces of wood as it gives a greater swing and hence greater force.

   What is the heaviest splitting axe?

   • Whereas the heaviest splitting axe we tested is a 6-pound model, splitting mauls can get up into the 12-pound range; although that extra weight adds a lot of impact force, there’s a point where the tool gets too cumbersome. Splitting mauls are also very blunt, so in some situations they’re prone to bouncing off the log rather than splitting it.

   Can you split wood with a felling axe?

   • Splitting wood effectively with a felling axe requires a technique-oriented swing. It’s doable, but for general use a splitting axe is the better option, at least until you find yourself getting absorbed into the axe world and are willing to take on the learning curve of using a lighter, more challenging tool for wood splitting.
