Esker Splitter
A compact but hard‑hitting splitting axe for stoves, saunas, and campfires, the Esker Splitter combines a 3.8 lb Austrian‑forged head with a 25" Canadian hickory handle for efficient, controlled firewood prep at home, cabin, or camp. Its wedge‑shaped profile, balanced handle, and leather mask make it a durable, packable tool that excels at turning stubborn rounds into ready‑to‑burn fuel.
Designed specifically for splitting, the Esker Splitter uses a broad, wedge‑shaped head that forces wood fibres apart instead of slicing straight through, helping it power through knotty, challenging rounds without sticking. The 25" hickory handle sits between a hatchet and full‑size felling axe, offering enough leverage for powerful two‑handed swings while remaining compact enough to carry in a sled, truck, or canoe pack for field use. Paired with a full‑grain leather mask and Canadian assembly, it fits seamlessly into Esker’s winter‑camping toolkit as a dedicated splitter for stoves, wall tents, and off‑grid cabins.​
