Hand-forged splitting froe with wooden mallet on wooden surface

Weight, grain, and the quiet crack of wood.

A hand-forged edge and ash-handled mallet meet the log with calm intent—no swing, just pressure and turn.

Benchside ritual

Split with sense, not speed

Old method, clear results

Axes demand arc and distance; the Splitting Froe with Wooden Mallet asks only for presence. Set the blade, drive, then rotate—the split follows the grain like a line you can read. Work closer to the bench, closer to the project, with fewer wild strikes and more control.

Control you can feel

Clean, guided splits shape shingles, kindling, and planks that behave at the workbench. The 52100 carbon steel blade and ash handle keep the action grounded and responsive, while the leather sheath makes stowing it simple between tasks.

For the hands that listen to wood

Woodworkers and DIYers who want grain-true splits without swinging a blade overhead.

How it finds its place

Score the line, seat the froe, tap with the wooden mallet, then twist to follow the grain for controlled, accurate splitting.
