Characteristic features of the Canadian axe
A Canadian axe usually has a larger head with a wider blade, which is designed to effectively chop and split the hardwoods common in Canadian forests. Emphasis is placed on the strength and toughness of the material, which is why axe heads are made from high quality carbon or stainless steel. This type of steel not only provides excellent cutting properties, but also ensures long life and wear resistance. The handle of a Canadian axe is typically made of hardwoods.
Uses and types of Canadian axes
Canadian axes are divided into several types depending on their use:
- Splitting axes: Designed for splitting larger logs into smaller pieces of wood. They have a wider head and heavier construction for maximum penetration.
- All-purpose axes: Suitable for a variety of work - from chopping branches to basic woodworking. These axes combine balanced weight and handle length for comfortable handling.
- Camping axes: Compact and lightweight models that are ideal for preparing firewood or building shelters. Easy to carry and suitable for outdoor activities.
