Safety advice:

Ironically, using a poorly sharpened tool is dangerous as it requires twice as much energy and quickly tires you out: learning how to sharpen a tool and doing so regularly is essential. Their use requires calm and common sense, positioning oneself in a way that if the blade slips or bounces, 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 blade side) or with a wedge by using the back of its head to drive the wedge in. It is used to split wood, including thick and hard logs. The flat side can also be used for grinding. Safety tips: Paradoxically, using a poorly sharpened tool is dangerous as it requires twice as much energy and quickly tires you out: learning to sharpen a tool and doing it regularly is essential. Their use requires calm and common sense, positioning yourself in a way that if the blade slips or bounces, it does not end up on the operator. Do not strike a hatchet or axe with a mallet or hammer as there is a risk of metal splintering and tool breakage. Wear goggles, gloves, and protective clothing. Clean the blade with alcohol after use, this gesture prevents the transmission of diseases from one plant to another, but also helps to keep 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 away from bad weather, in a dry place.
