Hand-forged splitting froe with 25.5 cm blade and ash wood handle

Quiet force, clean grain

A hand-forged blade meets ash in a tool meant for the rhythm of real work—log, wedge, turn, repeat.

At the block

The moment wood gives

Work-led refinement

Swinging at wood can be loud guesswork. The Hand-Forged Splitting Froe, Blade - 25.5 cm (10 inches) lets the grain decide, using a driven cut and a simple twist to part boards, shingles, or kindling with control. The 52100 carbon steel edge arrives sharpened, so the first split is as confident as the hundredth. A leather sheath keeps the edge where it belongs when the day is done.

Grip, set, and listen

Good timber work is about feel, not force. With the ash handle and fixed blade, your hands read the wood as it opens, making straighter pieces and quieter progress. When tools are made to last and feel right, projects move from chore to craft.

For the hands-on

Someone who splits along the grain—making planks, shingles, or neat kindling—and wants reliable, well-made steel with a handle that works all afternoon.

How it lives

Set the froe on the end grain, tap it in, then lever the handle to follow the split for controlled, even sections.
