    I sent you that Sager head in February of 2018. It looks great on a handle and seems to split well. I’m glad it turned into something positive for you and whoever ended up ordering it.

    I know you wanted to keep this one Buckin', but that's the amazing guy you are. You let it go to share the love that the axe has brought you, and that's just amazing. I found myself a Sager I absolutely fell in love with as soon as I saw it, but I know it would have some sentimental value to one of my best friends. I will be putting a handle on it that he found at his in-laws old property before they sold it and will be sending it back to him. He doesn't know it yet.

    That axe actually seemed to handle that maple pretty well. Axes are just cool. I always liked tools and thought axes were the high end of cool tools. I didn't get to use one until I was in my 30s. Now I'm living my dreams, getting to use them everyday and work on them.

    I'm almost 64 & I split wood all year long not everyday but pretty close to it. I started when I was 13 and I hit & hit & hit & hit but couldn't split until I watched and asked questions. My brother in law said he wanted me to get it out of my system of being a stubborn ass kid. It took me about 2 hours on my own & I was ready to learn. I have been flicking since I was 13 1/2 plus it helps you develop strength in your forearms

When the weather gets better I'd like to get a video of it and send it to you. All the large limbs I could split Now I am down to the trunk and it's like a tank. and now There are funny-looking things growing off the wood. I've debarked the wood most of it. But I will not give up until I can get this wood busted up and stacked for burning.

      Definitely try the flick technique.
      And if the wood you are trying to split is big you should try hitting the spot you want to hit at an angle (diagonally), after you first cracked it.
      Also try hitting the outside of a big round, instead of trying crack it in the middle.
