Hello;
I was trying out my new Fiskars splitter today on some Jack Pine I cut.
It works nicely but after splitting only 15 rounds or so, the edge is nicked and burred off, more than my old utility ax would be in a season.
Is this normal?
My chopping block is clean, the wood was clean and I was not chopping into dirt or anything.
The jack pine is soft, but it does have knots.
Should I be sharpening the Fiskars almost daily?
Or does the burring not matter much?
cheers from a clear and sunny New Brunswick.
