Leveraxe - The Smart Axe

The Leveraxe is a wood splitting axe used to split firewood from nearly any type of wood and diameter.

Leveraxe works in entirely different way than the conventional axes. It is based on a lever mechanism and rotational action. The blade is attached from the side, not the center, which alters its center of gravity. After you hit a log, blade will break in few millimeters and then stops. At the same time counterweight on the right side of the blade forces the axe to fall sideways, splitting the log apart with ease. Because of that Leveraxe can handle all common hardwood.
