Perhaps the more acute edge & blade geometry enables it to drive into the wood better? Facilitating a better wedging action?
I guess if the handle is horizontal at the moment of striking then all the force will go into one point (at the far end) of the blade.  :think:

That's just basic advice like you get in kindergarten... It's not really philosophy, is it!

.....Although....now you mention it.....I don't think our kindergarten covered axe use and care. We didn't get that until 2nd grade.....

And NO, I was not in the slow class!

(Image removed from quote.)

There's no point seeking pearls of axe related wisdom from the greeks - they were far too preoccupied with other things...



Look at that... not an axe in site.

Right... Nix n I have had a right good chat and we both agree it would be proper nice to have an in challenge GAW to help us all get through the long arduous wait 'til October... or Choptober as I like to call it.  :2tu:

So, without further adooo... let's play...

NAME... THAT... AXE!!!

Doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo doo....

When I got my new Rinaldi axe I wanted to name it Killer, but Stevey - the wise old pillar of MTo that he is (he's almost 70 this year) - err'd caution and suggested that I start a Name Fuzzy's Axe thread instead and leave it to the Gods to decide!



Well, the Gods have tended to be a tad unpredictable recently, so I'm consulting the next best thing - the enlightened and esteemed members of MTo and I'm asking them to play.... Wait for it....

NAME... THAT... AXE!!!

In return the lucky winner will receive this  - The Ax Book by D. Cook (Marine Corp Vet who served with distinction in WW2 fighting in the Pacific theatre). Now, I confess, as I did to Nix earlier, that I have not actually read this booky...  but I have had a bloody good thumb through it and it seems delightfully interesting and rather enjoyable at the very least ... plus it gets five star reviews from anonymous folk online who I'm sure know what they're talking about.



But wait... There's more!

As well as this book, which does look bloody good actually, I'll also include something else Axe related too... more hands on... and shiney. What could it be?!?

Right to play... NAME... THAT... AXE!!!... simply add your name to the usual GAW list with your suggestion or suggestions - you can make as many as you like - just remember to number each suggestion separately... You all know what to do! Usual rules apply -  open to all MTo members with 50 posts or more etc... and Fuzzy rules are subject to sudden and unpredictable change etc.

However, there is one condition though that needs to be clearly stipulated from the get go: The winner has to get involved in Nix's forthcoming challenge in some way or another, either by participating directly in the callenge or by cheering from the sidelines injecting insightful, helpful and/or unhelpful tips!

Right... I'll start...

NAME... THAT... AXE!!!

1 - Fuzzy - Killer

Doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo doo....

That Rinaldi seems to be very confused. It doesn't know if it's a small axe or a tomahawk.




In fact, I think it's having an....

1 - Fuzzy - Killer
2 - Wspeed - Thumper
3 - Wspeed - the judge
4 - RF52 - Tor(the scandinavian Thor)
5 - RF52 - Giantsbane
6 - Nix - Longbeard

Not clearly attributed, but certainly of a philosophical mindset, and I think Thoreau would have agreed here:




 1 - Fuzzy - Killer
 2 - Wspeed - Thumper
 3 - Wspeed - the judge
 4 - RF52 - Tor (the scandinavian Thor)
 5 - RF52 - Giantsbane
 6 - Nix - Longbeard
 7 - Nix - Axistential Crisis
 8 - Nix - Imperfector
 9 - Wspeed - Hacker
10 - Nix - Monēta  (Greek goddess of memory. And let's face it, dat axe iz money!)
