    Love your 'flick' method. You have this correct in every way. I'm trying to teach my boy that last minute flick which does the job and makes it so much easier if only people could catch on to the strike. ' Backing off' from the sides rather than going straight through the middle is also something some don't get. They'd cut there work rate in half if they could learn both. Thanks buddy. Hope you are fit and healthy and stay that way.

    Thanks for the 550 cord under the ax head.
    On the ax handle you "cannot hammer" consider holding the handle vertical and cut the bottom of the handle to be flat with the floor/ ground or place it flat and tap the top.
    A pity they used screws on the ax head when they could have used wood shavings small wedges around any slight gaps to eliminate "gaps".
    One thing I learn to teach juniors and a "wild ax" ricochet place a shorter chopping roll (safety, mod from Crazy Russian Channel) in front of target chopping block, if ax skips or missed the shorter wood catches it. Glad I finally solved it.
    Your Figure 8- mine mod comes down and I "flick" my wrist to the right. Keeping my swings consistent, with the "flick" that will follow the grain pattern of the wood.

    I did a revisit on your vid, I always pick up more info.
    I noted your body mechanics and I noted we actually do the same. I too start horizontal ax(e) go up come straight down and flick "outboard".
    I found that with twisted juniper the double bit and "slimmer geometry" follow the grain to split the wood. My son in law used a hammer wedge but I prefer the ax(e).

    When I was a kid my Dad taught me do that flick thing you do to open up a piece a bit more on the strike. He probably learned it from one of the old hands at the family's float logging camp. I've never really been satisfied with a leather collar on the axe handle and tape doesn't quite do the trick either, but that paracord looks promising. Thanks for sharing that.

    Alaska here. Just wood for the house yeah. I was using the fiskars and another brand. They work fine but the epoxy cracks in the cold. I bought one new this year and it’s already moving. I’m going to try a wood handle on one and see if it lasts more than a few cords. I also have two old axes, a double blade and a single bit that seem to split just fine. Both of those were given to me and I sharpened them to see if they would hold an edge.
