A new splitting axe developed in Finland exploits physics by using an axe head that has a center of gravity that is not in line with the handle. Therefore with each swing the axe head cuts into the wood and then kicks out to the side splitting the wood more easily.

That's a pretty slick design but he was also splitting nearly all frozen birch. Still, it is an interesting design and for $255 dollars it better stack the wood after it splits it..

And that young lady......I'll hit her!!

The way that axe{the one in the video} glances off to the side, makes Me nervous juz watching it. Usually, when an ax glances like that, it is headed right fur a foooot. :banghead: :busted: :cheers:
