Froe is a tool for cleaving wood by splitting it along the grain. This one froe has one-sided sharpening angle!Used by hammering one edge of its blade into the end of a piece of wood in the direction of the grain, then twisting the blade in the wood by rotating the haft.
Froes are used in combination with wooden mallets to split timber, to make planks, wooden shingles, or kindling; they are safer and more accurate to use than hatchets or splitting mauls because the blade is not swung.
Comes with a handy thick leather sheath with loops for a wooden handle, also on the sheath there is a special metal ring with which you can wear the tool on your belt

Very nice tool. The usual scary sharp edge. Nicely forged and great handle with a leather wrapped section. Cover is nicely designed and excellent quality.
