Axes – Product list

Hand axes for general use

Hand axes, such as the Bahco Standard Hand Axe HGPS 0.6-360 and HGPS 0.8-380, give a compact, single-handed tool for general chopping, kindling and light outdoor tasks. The BlueSpot Tools Hand Axe and Kent & Stowe Forged Hand Axe round out this everyday-use category.

Chopping axes

Fiskars' Norden and X-series ranges, including the Norden N10, Norden N7 and S X10, use patented blade geometry engineered to reduce sticking and improve chopping efficiency, drawing on traditional Swedish forging methods.

Kindling splitters and axes

For breaking down firewood into kindling, the Roughneck Kindling Splitter and Faithfull FSC Kindling Axe give a smaller, more controlled tool than a full-size chopping axe, suited to splitting smaller pieces of wood safely.

Sportsman's and camping axes

The Estwing E14A and E24A Sportsman's Axes give a lighter, portable option with a leather grip for outdoor and camping use, while the DeWALT Steel Camper's Axe offers a similarly compact, portable design for camp and outdoor tasks.

Specialist forestry and carpentry axes

The Estwing Black Eagle Double Bit Axe and Black Eagle Tomahawk Axe serve more specialist forestry and outdoor applications. The Hultafors Hults Bruk Stålberg Carpenter's Axe brings traditional Swedish forging to carpentry-focused axe work, distinct from general chopping or splitting tasks.

General-purpose axes

The Bahco General-Purpose Axe HFGPS and larger Roughneck FSC American Hickory Axes and 1.25kg version give versatile options for general outdoor and site chopping work, along with the Roughneck Gorilla V-Series Axe and Roughneck Axe Fibreglass Handle.

Handle materials

Fibreglass handles, common across the Roughneck, Bahco and BlueSpot ranges, resist splitting and absorb shock well. Leather grip handles, seen on the Estwing Sportsman's range, give a traditional feel favoured for outdoor and camping use.

Frequently Asked Questions

A hand axe is compact and single-handed, suited to kindling and light general use. A chopping axe, like the Fiskars Norden range, is built with a longer handle and heavier head for more demanding general chopping work.
It's a smaller, more controlled tool than a full-size chopping axe, designed for safely splitting firewood down into smaller kindling pieces without the size and weight of a larger axe.
Fibreglass handles resist splitting and absorb shock well, common across most general-purpose axes. Leather grip handles, found on the Estwing Sportsman's range, give a traditional feel favoured for outdoor and camping use.
A carpenter's axe, like the Hultafors Stålberg, is shaped and balanced specifically for woodworking and shaping tasks rather than general log chopping, giving more control for detailed cutting work.
A hand axe or compact chopping axe under 1kg covers most everyday tasks like kindling and light branch work. Heavier axes such as the Roughneck American Hickory range suit more demanding chopping and general-purpose outdoor work.
