The Carolina Bullet!
This is the axe I’ve been waiting for. What a joy to operate, slim handle, perfect length, weight and profile. It will come to you rough as a cob, I just dressed up the edge with a belt sander, and it’s ready to smash the wood.
Out preforms X27 with ease!

Council Tool axe quality has been improving with each update. The 5lb splitter is no exception and is a great value. The updated 36” straight handle design on this axe is very nice especially for an axe in this price range. The axe performs excellent as a splitter leaving little more to ask for. I prefer splitting with an axe and finally found a great splitting axe. I use this axe before going to my more expensive made in Sweden maul. A great axe and an excellent value.
