Its traditional Rhenish head has a broad, flared cutting edge that bites cleanly across the grain, while the weight and profile provide enough splitting action for ordinary firewood work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 3.84 pounds overall, this axe is noticeably easier to control and carry than a full-sized splitting axe or maul. The compact 25.6-inch handle also makes it useful when working around branches, brush, and closely spaced trees. It is a practical choice for maintaining a woodlot, processing smaller firewood, or keeping on hand as an all-purpose axe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forged steel head retains its natural black forge finish, with a hardened cutting edge rated at 52–55 HRC. It is fitted to a curved, oiled ash handle that provides a comfortable two-handed grip without the slick feel of a heavy varnish. The oil finish can be renewed as the handle ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor large, knotty rounds or high-volume firewood splitting, a dedicated splitting axe or maul will be more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead weight: 1,200 g \/ 2.65 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight: 1,740 g \/ 3.84 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle length: 650 mm \/ 25.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Curved, oiled ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead hardness: 52–55 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHW Forge","offers":[{"title":"Assembled","offer_id":54071158407482,"sku":"ouj1789515992913","price":56.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2281\/1962\/files\/shw-nature-rhenish-forestry-axe-265-lb-head-256-inch-ash-handle_1.webp?v=1789515998","url":"https:\/\/urbanthreadwear.shop\/products\/shw-nature-rhenish-forestry-axe-265-lb-head-256-inch-ash-handle","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
