I know an X27 has a brittle edge and must have a stump or block under the round for splitting.Does that apply to the Isocore Maul.I'm deciding between it and a Council tool 8lb.Thank you for your replies.

I have used my Isocore a small amount and it does not appear to be as brittle as the X-27. Regardless of brand, any tool will suffer if used directly on the ground. I prefer to sharpen my tools more often rather than taking the time to set every round on a splitting block.
From everything I have seen on here, and my limited use of Council Tools, the Isocore is the superior tool.
(CTYank ought to be along shortly to give you an infomercial on the Council maul, and since he has me on ignore he will not see this.)

It still won't show. Only the retort after the quote will lol. I'm a reformed moderator and know all of that useless stuff lol.but if someone were feeling wicked ....they might quote you svk
I will say the handle quality of the new Council tools has been significantly better than the junk they were putting out a few years ago.
My x27 was very sharp untill I hit a polebarn spike in some elm, took a flat file to it and there was nothing brittle about it, softer n owlshit.
Next weekend hope to get my isocore out. Curious how the edge is compared to the x27 metallurgy.
