    I'm surprised the first item on the description is 'ideal for splitting logs' due to the shape of the head: thin spread is ideal for getting stuck in a log when attempting to split down the grain which is why a log splitting axe usually has a wide spread, forcing the wood apart enabling it to 'split'. I use a similar hatchet for kindling only. I would advise anyone buying this for the every day task of splitting logs for the fireplace to hold off and research. A longer handle will also serve your back well in the long term. Note...I am only questioning the 'ideal log splitting' quality of this. Else it looks like a Ferrari hatchet!

    Never seen one with a nail puller, used to be a joiner but never seen an axe like that, wonder how it actually pulls the nail :/

    Mm I'm trying to imagine the leverage since it's kind of sideways rather than straight forward but I'll take it it works well

    Agree 100% with with regards to this not being suited to splitting logs. For log splitting, assuming you are in it for the long haul, invest in a Fiskars X25 and never look back.
