I have read rave reviews here on the Fiskars splitting ax.
My 12 year old splits pine for kindling for me and currently uses a mini-maul. I did look at axes when I got him the maul but chose the maul because it wasn't as sharp.
I figured he would be safer with using it but after reading a thread here about injuries with mauls - severed arteries and punctured penises- I have begun to wonder.
Any thoughts on what is better for a 12 year old in terms of safety?
Thanks
