Lehman's Wood-Splitting Froe, Made of Hickory and Steel for Woodworking and Making Kindling, USA Amish Made

I do spoon carving and this has really helped splitting logs for use. Great buy.

Overall quality of the tool is decent. It ain't sharp, so you're gonna' have to sharpen it, like big time. (think: angle grinder). I think the pictures show the blade shorter than it actually is, so if you're going to chop wood in a bucket, it's too long. You could shorten it, but what I do is use bicycle innertube bands to hold the wood together after splitting.. If not in a bucket, you'll need two bands minimally.Handle is hickory, and seems to stand up well (so far). It's replaceable if need be. On a laughable side note, I use an official USBC (maple) wooden bowling pin as my mallet! Works great, and it will never die!

Very nicely made and ruggedly welded. I used it with a homemade sweet gum mallet to split firewood kindling. Very satisfied.

Generally, I'm pretty unhappy with it. I'm fairly sure they are selling a decoration as a tool.I had trouble with it at the start - a crap grind at a terrible angle for the kind of work you'd need to do with it. Won't start without a tremendous amount of help, and the worst part is that it bent on me with mild force.I am also not a fan of whatever acrylic spray they put on it to make it look like black iron, as it peels and gunks up the whole processes as well. I was not expecting the best tool in the world, but holy this thing is a piece of junk. I guess I'll hang it on my wall as that's the best use case for the thing.I should not be able to bend a nearly 1/4 inch iron bar with the amount of force I was putting on it.

Great tool

The design of this fro looks highly questionable. I have used a traditional forged fro before, where the blade and handle eye are all one solid piece. Think of the torque you put on the blade/eye joint when splitting shingles.THIS fro is not made like that. There is a blade. And there is a handle eye, a steel cylinder. They WELDED them together. Obviously for cost of production. If I knew this I would not have bought it. Time will tell how it holds up. The blade can be "case hardened steel" but the weak point is that joint, not the blade. They could have even made a slot in the eye for the blade to go into and THEN welded it. But no. Probably going to break.

on time and exactly what was ordered

It's good, but still too malleable
