Safety tips:

Paradoxically, using a poorly sharpened tool is dangerous because it requires twice as much energy and quickly tires you out. Learning how to sharpen a tool and doing it regularly is essential. Their use requires calmness and common sense, positioning oneself in a way that if the blade slips or rebounds, it does not end up hitting the operator. Do not strike a hatchet or axe with a sledgehammer or hammer, as there is a risk of metal splintering and tool breakage. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.

Detailed features

Directions for use This merlin can be used either as a traditional axe (with the sharp side) or with a wedge by using the back of its head to drive the wedge in. It is used for splitting wood, including thick and hard logs. Safety tips: Paradoxically, using a tool that cuts poorly is dangerous as it requires twice as much energy and quickly fatigues: learning to sharpen a tool and doing it regularly is essential. Their use requires calm and common sense, positioning oneself so that if the blade slips or bounces, it does not end up hitting the operator. Do not strike an axe or hatchet with a mallet or hammer as there is a risk of metal splinters and tool breakage. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing. Clean the blade with alcohol after use. This gesture helps prevent the transmission of diseases from one plant to another, but also keeps your tool in good condition for a long time (the sap of certain plants can attack the blades or make them sticky over time). Store this tool in a dry place, protected from the weather.
