Carmyra Shingle Froe Tool and Kindling Axe for Splitting Firewood,15in Premium Forged Blade Shingle Froe with 18in Wooden Handle, Froe Axe, Kindling Axe, Wood Froe Tool

This item feels good, looks well made, and performs well. It comes sharp and ready to be used. A heafty tool with ease of handling.

I read a bunch of reviews on all the kindling/shingle froes I found before buying this one. Being low on money but still wanting to work on a few projects, I decided to buy cheap and risk disappointment rather than spend a bit more and end up with a middle-of-the-road tool that looked just as cheap to me.So far:1. I have yet to put this puppy to work. I'll *try* to update this review once I take it for a spin. (I'll update this point accordingly if I do so).2. I have no intention of using this tool on hardwood. I live in a softwood area, and this tool was purchased to make kindling from junk wood, and to process some spruce shingles for my outbuildings.3. It appears that the maker has taken the advice from other reviews and included two screws instead of just one. I find this encouraging, and the blade feels pretty secure so far.4. The edge on the blade is ugly. It's chipped and pitted, though the other surfaces seem smoothly machined and free from flaws. I'll try it on kindling before sharpening just for the heck of it, though I'll definitely give it a good sharpening before trying to split any shingles.So far, that's it.

It works but quality is disappointing. Blade is poor quality metal which deforms too easily on knots. I wish I had spent the extra for better tool. Handle is nice.

I’m only giving it 4 stars instead of five because the screw needed to hold the handle in place doesn’t come with it, you must supply your own and you will need it.

Dispendieux pour l'utilisation qu'on peut en faire...Il ne faut pas s'attendre à pouvoir fendre des bûches (alors que ça fait parti de la description du produit).Fonctionne pour le bardeau
