Thought it would be great for splitting aome knotty wood, however after a few swings the weld that connects the handle to the head broke. Maybe it wasnt designed to be swung like an axe. I may return it or just reweld it. A friend of mine has the same maul and loves it.

I ordered this maul because I had a few 30″ rounds that I needed to split but not enough to warrant a log splitter. I already had a 4lb maul/splitter axe which had got me through most of the rounds, but there were a few knotty ones that I was struggling with and a heftier maul seemed like it would do the trick. This maul is great. It’s heavy and will split most rounds just because of it’s weight. The handle is a little short but you shouldn’t be swinging something like this over your head anyhow so it’s not that big a deal. What I don’t like about it is that the head is basically triangular (you can’t tell that from the profile picture above) rather than “axe shaped”… That means that it won’t dig into dense/tight grained wood with much success and you’ll need to open a seam with another axe or maul before this one is any use to you. It decimates normal rounds, but anything where a decent sized branch was attached is going to cause you problems and this maul will just bounce off.

This maul is BIG at 10 lbs. you know you have something in your hand , but it works ! It will pop green or dry oak 20″ round in half in one swing . The only complaint I have is that the handle is to short I think it should be at least 36″. Made of all steel it should last several generations .
