Family come visiting bearing a most amazing Christmas present – a Vipukirves Leveraxe.
Rather late as it had traveled slowly overland from Finland
“The function of the axe is based on the blade’s one-sided design. When the blade strikes a log, it begins to incline, creating torque, which multiplies the splitting force and enables the blade to detach the log wood. Kinetic energy ends on top of the log so the blade will not slip.” – that’s science that is.
You will get even better result to your splitting, if you remove the steel band from the side of the tire. This allows flexibility when you series split many blocks at the time.
Best regards.
Heikki, the inventor

Thanks for that Heikki, I will do that. Your axe is great. My daughter bought it for me as a Christmas present.

That’s quite the awesome gift. How did you think the Leveraxe did with the log splitting?
