The Short Splitter is designed to allow for maximum splitting power. The substantial head weight combined with a shorter handle enables the user to split even the most stubborn wood and logs. This tool is designed to be used with both hands in order to grip it properly and allow for force to be applied optimally. The “wings” on the side of the axe head are designed to separate the wood effectively so that it will not be brought back up when the user is pulling the axe up for the next strike. This item is delivered with a leather sheath which is made in Lithuania.

What Makes an Adler Axe or Hatchet Remarkable?
The head
The head is forged of C45 steel sourced in Europe. It is carefully and securely mounted to the handle using a round metal wedge, which distributes pressure evenly to help secure the head to the handle.
The handle
The handle is made of hickory wood that comes from the USA. Hickory is stable and absorbs shock well. The black paint on an Adler axe or hatchet has a unique abrasive quality to assure a tight grip. The Adler Works has a state-of-the-art paint facility and the color call out on the tool makes your axe stand out – and the color can even help you find your axe if you have misplaced it. Replacement handles are available separately.
The blade
Adler axes and hatchets offer blades that are carefully sharpened. Each axe and hatchet is delivered with its own leather sheath which protects the user and helps keep the blade sharp and free from damage.
The purpose
Adler offers hatchets and axes for every need. A range of quality cutting tools are available from specialty and traditional hatchets to heavy splitters for professional foresters.
