: Tis axe is half no heavier than a standard Lang handled axe. The

: about one inch up the blade. This lever action gives the

: the knot.

: Regarding freezing logs, it never gets that cold here.

I tend to wait till the temps outside are 20 degrees or lower, we get lots of much colder weather than this.
