   • Felling Axe. When most people think of an axe they’ll probably picture a felling or chopping axe. These are medium to long length axes used to chop down trees.
   • Splitting Axe. Splitting axes are long handled axes with a heavy, wedge-shaped head designed to split logs along the grain with one big swing. The blade is duller than that of a felling axe – it doesn’t need to be razor sharp – just get it swinging and let gravity do the hard work.
   • Forest Axe. Much like a felling axe, a Forest Axe is used for cutting down large trees or branches and limbing small logs. Forest Axes have a long, rounded edge with a flat elongated axe head.
   • Double Bit Axe. The Double Bit Axe has a two sides for cutting rather than a poll on the back of the head like a standard single-bit axe. One side can be sharp for chopping and cutting, the other side duller for splitting.

   Jan 26, 2016 · Antique or New. The most important part of an ax is the head. To function efficiently, its bit must be sharpened to a keen cutting edge — thin enough to bite into the wood, but thick enough to resist chipping and breaking. And the ability to achieve this keen cutting edge is dependent on the quality of steel the ax head is made from.

   Jun 21, 2024 · Blade Shape and Bevel. The shape and bevel of the blade determine the axe head’s cutting efficiency and suitability for different tasks. Flat blades are better for splitting, while curved blades offer deeper cuts for chopping. Single bevels are ideal for precise cuts, while double bevels provide versatility.

   What is a head on an axe?

   • The head is the business end; the sharp, cutting portion of the axe. And, as you can imagine, there are different kinds. Mainly in terms of the bit and pole. Now, if don’t know what the bit or poll is, I suggest learning the parts of an axe. In short, the bit is the sharp, cutting edge and the poll is back of the head.

   What is a splitting axe?

   • A splitting axe is an antithesis to a felling axe, as they come with a wider angle bit and tend to have heavier heads. These heavier heads are to have more power to split through any log in front of you. The wide-angle bit is designed to be removable from any log you fail to split on the first swing, as it happens to the best of us.

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

   • The forest axe has a similar concept as to the felling axe, but rather they come a bit heavier as they typically handle larger trees. The heads have the same shape, a thin and sharp blade but are commonly 5-6 lbs. To find a high-quality felling/forest axe, one feature you will want is an American hickory handle.

   Why do woodsmen have two blades on an axe?

   • While having two blades on an axe has loads of benefits, the main purpose of its creation is really simple. Woodsmen could essentially carry in one axe instead of two. One bit is used to break the bark of the tree while the other is used for chopping. A tree’s bark often hides a lot of dirt, which dulls a blade rather quickly.

    Sep 13, 2018 · #1. Which one do you prefer and why? I like the nostalgia of a double bit (like my vintage Plumb cruiser) but tend to think that a single bit is a little more versatile (like my 1920s Craftsman 2lb head I re-hung on a 28" straight handle from Beaver Tooth).
