5# Single bit Splitting axe with a 28" straight handle. This thing is a laser beam through firewood rounds. When turning large chunks of wood into smaller chunks of wood is the task at hand... this is the one you want! The cutting edge is approximately 4.5″ of overall length.

Here are what a few other customers had to say:
- Forged steel head. Made in USA.
- Hand sharpened, tapered bit for cutting and splitting.
- ANSI Standards call for bit hardness of Rc 45-60, at least ½ inch back from the cutting edge. Council Tool internal standards call for tempered bit hardness of Rc 48-55 and we target 1-1/4 inches from the cutting edge. The poll and eye walls are not hardened and remain in the as forged condition.
- Head coated with red paint
- Axe head is hydraulically seated onto handle and secured with a wooden wedge.
- The interior detail of the eye is tapered and allows for a strong mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2″ of the overall length of the handle is removed during assembly.

Customer Reviews
Splits like a dream comfortable handle propper grain orientation great price for a great tool
Works great love it
I love the 5lb splitter. Best splitting axe I’ve used so far. Extremely comfortable handle. The hang on it was tight and has stayed tight.
Haven’t had the opportunity to use the axe yet, but I am pleased with the overall fit and finish. It also feels great in hand - it should work well.
These 5lb splitters do amazing in the rounds
The best axe for splitting I have encountered besides a maul.
The fact you can get such a perfect American made axe for this price in 2024 is astounding.
Kudos to both council tool and W.R., for making this happen! The wedge banger is also top teir in its category. More useful in this application than a rafting pattern BY FAR.
