Hand-Forged Splitting Froe, Blade - 14.5 cm (5.7 inches)

Introducing the Hand-Forged Froe, a testament to traditional craftsmanship and the tradition of modern technology. The Froe blade is made of 52100 steel, which makes it suitable for a wide range of tasks: splitting wood by splitting it along the grain. Used to drive one edge of the blade into the end of a piece of wood in the direction of the grain, and then rotate the blade into the wood by rotating the handle.

Froes are used in combination with wooden mallets to split timber, to make planks, wooden shingles, or kindling; they are safer and more accurate to use than hatchets or splitting mauls because the blade is not swung.

Comfort and ergonomic design.
The blades are securely attached by a round ring to the ash handle, polished and coated with natural linseed oil, which provides a comfortable and secure grip for both right- and left-handers. Ergonomic design ensures stability and ease of use during long-term use.
