Classic Wood Splitting Knife
A two-handled splitting knife is one of those old tools that remains useful because nobody has invented a more complicated way to improve it. Made in Sweden, this traditional design works with both hands for splitting kindling or removing material during woodworking.
A short carbon-steel blade sits between two barrel-shaped, red-stained birch handles. The arrangement provides controlled leverage for fireside kindling and drawknife-style carving work.
