The second position in the locking mechanism on other saws is not intended for cutting low to the ground, it is for making the undercut first when removing a limb for a clean separation.

Try Gransfors Bruks tools, especially their splitting mauls. Beautifully balanced, hand forged steel, hardwood handles that absorb shocks,unlike steel. I used them on mixed seasoned hardwoods before my shoulder told me to move to a hydraulic splitter that never gets tired, no matter how gnarly the wood. A very well researched and thought out video. Thanks!

Great video. Ive been use all three methods splitting curb wood for seven or so years. Curb wood is all varieties from pine, peacan, oak, sycamore, to osage orange or mulberry. To name a few iv spotted. I also have to add a another method, the wedge and sledge. I found a longnose sledge and found it work work best with two wedges started with a engineers hammer

How much wood can be cut with this saw? So we are talking about preparing 10 m3 for the winter. Can that saw do it or does it become dull?

0:30 não pode fazer isso ferro com ferro acaba trincando o machado aconteceu isso comigo uma vez

I am a tall, 140 lb woman, and I can use a 6lb splitting maul, but I can tell when I'm beginning to tire and it's time to stop. I find it easiest to chop off an edge piece first rather than hitting the middle, then flake off further pieces turing the log around as I go, before cutting it in half.

Thanks for the explanation!

So that's why I got my ass handed to me from pine wood, I was using a splitting maul

Great video man! Useful information and I especially liked the acoustic music at the end!

I have been using this saw for more than a year. Only positive impressions. Indeed, the design of the handle sometimes interferes with sawing near the ground surface, but most often this is decided by laying something under the log. I use this saw on hikes to fall dry trees in order to get firewood. Other Silky saws are also very good, I can note such as Genki Temagari. Bigboy with red handle was my first Silky saw, also Gomtaro is very nice saw.

Good info mate! Thanks

The maul is always the answer when splitting wood. Thats what they are made for😅. Unless you're splitting pecker wood pine, use a maul.

trying to guess by the landscape, wondering what part of the US you’re in.

I think i disagree with the wood not being on the block. Hours of using a maul on the gound height will kill your back and hips.Having a chopping block to have it a little higher will save your back in long the run. Especially for shorter folk. the power part of your argument is vaild if your using a ax instead of a maul.

Thats disappointing - Not the video but that I have a maul axe and can't chop jack with it like these guys can. I was looking for a vid to show me some super duper slicing axe, seems I'm supposed to have one 😪

Make a shorter chopping block 👍

I use an old maul that is fairly dull that I use on dry hard pine. My son says I should sharpen it. Anyone have an opinion about that?

Fire ass underrated video

fiskars' long handle splitting axe is the best I've ever used

I think the axe or maul you have is probably the best one for you! You don't start in the middle, start close to the edge. I have a large axe head with a 40mm galvanized water pipe as a handle, primitive but effective and I split Australian hardwood. Have had this tool for 30 years never let me What's with the angle when you hit the wood you're doing that on purpose, that's absolutely ridiculous.

1.75 is 3.87 pounds.

Fiskars X27 is the best!

Yeah,accuracy is everything.

Great video and great information

Great video

Nice to see the mauls. I’ve got a mini one with a shortened handle . 👍

Yeah imagine was like living in a pine Forest

Try the Council Tools Velvicut 4lb Felling Axe. Because it's made out of America. Not _in_ America. Made OUT of America. Cuts a commie, fruityloop, uppity, Tikitytok degen type clean in half. I done seen it.

Trees????

whered you get the chainmail socks?

With smaller round as chopping block, (for upright rounds) use another shorter one in front of the one you have, in case of "under strike". It will catch your ax. Good safety. Consider lace up boots for ankle support. Thxs

Outstanding.

I enjoyed watching your vid. In the realm of body mechanics, I see you over extending. As for the swing-speed, "economy of motion". I would place a round in the back of the chopping block (depending on diameter of chopping block for "missed strike(s)"... 1st safety. It is best to keep feet in an "A-Frame" posture" (2nd safety), no short cuts since ax can ricochet/ bounce. Nice to see you seem to be in a safe place. Im wooded areas. I do not advocate having all that wood around your feet. In the event of an animal changing you might trip and/ or twist your ankle, just a thought.

Don't fight the maul, don't swing it more than once. If it doesn't split finish with a mini sledge. If it doesn't stick in, sharpen it.

This is the best review of this tool on TH-cam, thanks!

Hi Codi, do you have any tips for my situation? We just brought down a tree and its about 6ft tall and as thick as what youre showing. what kind of axe would we use to break it down?

Kenapa di Indonesia ga ada,kapak yg keren seperti ini

Dude your technique with the katanaboy is all wrong

Have the 500 and will never use a bow saw again. You’re technique is obviously not good if you find the saw “tiresome and uncomfortable”. It’s the complete opposite

I have a paralyzed left arm and that's what I've been using for the last few years but I'm dealing up to the wood handled Fishers N12 soon just because I want to go a little bigger. Eventually I might upgrade to a Gränsfors Bruk Small Splitting Axe. I've loved my Estwing but it's fine for a new axe because I've used and abused the heck out of my Estwing hahaha

Cool

Nice Greetings from Germany Peter

I have mostly lodgepole pine, spruce, fir and cottonwood in my area. I burn 4- 6 cords every winter. I used to use a maul but as I get older, it is getting hard on my shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands to use that heavy maul. I found a "Collins Axe" that has been doing a phenomenal job for me. Considerably less force required to accomplish the same job. I still have to use the maul on some harder splitting pieces. But overall, my arms feel way better using the Collins axe. To aid in splitting stroke, I screwed together 2 layers of 4X4s that are perpendicular to each other. Then I put on 1 more layer of perpendicular 2X4s. The 2X4 layer is the layer that I split on. It is easy and cheap to replace those pieces. I also installed a suitcase handle on the side. That gives me roughly 18 more inches of stroke and power on each swing. The splitting block moves easily and protects my edge from hitting dirt.

Urnieta, aizkora... 28" Handle.... I wish I could buy a 32" or 33" handle for this awesome axe head

I wish my handle was longer and better shaped.... Any help?

With the Fiskars XXL Maul that you used you destroy Pine. Dont know about Red Mapple but whats the problem with pine? I one shot every pine log with that axe

Awesome content🎉

Hello I'm looking for an ax for a bug out bag something to chop wood for a fire or shelter if need be I'm not very strong I'm wondering what type of ax do you think would be the best you seem very knowledgeable. thank you for your time.

Thank you I was torn between 2.25lb council tool boys axe and 5lb splitting axe. After watching this I think I will go with boys axe
