The 15.5 cm blade is convenient for riving smaller logs, billets, kindling, and woodworking stock.

Suitable for green woodworking, chair making, shingle making, timber work, and other carpentry projects.

The 25.5 cm ash handle helps guide the split while keeping the tool compact and manageable.

Each froe is forged and finished by hand, so slight variations in the forged surface are a natural part of the handmade process.

The Crazy Horse leather sheath helps protect the sharpened edge when the froe is not in use.

To keep your splitting froe in good working condition, clean and dry the steel after use and store the tool in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil to the carbon steel periodically to help prevent rust. The ash handle can occasionally be treated with natural oil or wax. Make sure the blade is dry before placing it into the leather sheath.

This Hand-Forged Small Splitting Froe is a practical tool for green woodworkers, chair makers, carpenters, bushcrafters, and woodworkers who need controlled splitting and wood preparation.
