Prandi vs Husqvarna vs Estwing — Ultimate Splitting Axe Test (Oak, Ash & Hickory) — In this Northern Adventure episode, I put three popular splitting axes head-to-head in a real-world wood-splitting challenge to find out which axe performs best on oak, ash, and tough knotty hardwood.
If you heat with wood, homestead, camp, or just love working in the woods, this hands-on test compares the Prandy 4-lb splitting axe, Husqvarna S2800, and Estwing 6-lb maul to see which tool delivers the best performance, power, and control.
Watch as each axe tackles everything from easy splits to massive, stubborn rounds — plus a hilarious finale when the homestead wife takes a swing at splitting a log!
