Z17 Splitting Axe
Full description & specs +
Sometimes you don't need a full-size splitter. You need an axe that gets in the 4WD without eating space, splits kindling for the fire, and earns its spot in your kit.
The Z17 Splitting Axe is the compact one in the range. Short enough to throw in the pack or behind the seat, sharp enough to handle kindling and small rounds, built tough enough to keep going trip after trip.
Key Features
- Forged carbon steel head holds a sharp edge for clean splits on kindling, small logs and seasoned rounds.
- PTFE anti-friction coating helps the blade glide through wood instead of sticking, so you spend less time prying it out.
- 17.5 inch fibreglass handle keeps it compact for the pack, the boot or the camper, without losing swing power.
- Shock-absorbent handle takes the sting out of repeat swings so your wrists aren't wrecked after a load of firewood.
- Ergonomic non-slip grip stays planted in wet, cold or sweaty hands for full control.
- Protective sheath included so the blade travels safely in the pack or the boot.

Very happy with the Axe 🪓 very easy to handle.
Edge came sharp and has stayed that way after several weekends. Handle feels sturdy and comfortable in the hand.
Fits easily in the back of the 4WD, doesn’t take up much space but still swings with enough force to split firewood quickly.
Splits small logs in one hit. The weight and balance are spot on, makes campfires so much easier.
Good axe for kindling and smaller rounds. Wouldn’t use it on huge logs but great for camping.
