  • I tend to lay the wood flat and then use the axe along the grain of the wood. It saves me from swinging a blade toward a hand that is supporting the wood. Otherwise I put a few logs into an old car tyre on top of a wooden chopping block and will then strike end on.

  • These are too small for either of those techniques really. I'm not swinging the knife at first, just gently pressing it into the wood, then swinging the wood down onto a log to split the embedded knife through it.

    I like the car tyre tip for bigger stuff, will use ta.
