Can anyone recommend a brand name of axe for splitting oak firewood? I was going to get one from tractor supply. Thought I'd check here first to if brand name and type of axe matters any?
How big are most of the Rounds ?
I have nothing but good things to say about the x27 !
But for huge rounds, I would say a 6-8# Maul might work better.

Wetterlings 5.5 lb maul. Excellent metallurgy, from real, human smiths. Should outlast a few fiskars.
That maul for the initial splits down the middle, depending on the wood. Then, whatever suits.
There are differences between "splitting axes" and "mauls" but I dare anyone to list them. Intentionally fuzzified.
There are mauls that are next to useless- way too blunt. Comparing them to any other category of tool is misleading. Real quality steels are hard to come by too.
