Adler The Short Splitter - Hickory Red Stripe 19.6in 230.0h125b211

The Adler Short Splitter is built for serious performance, offering a rugged combination of power, control, and craftsmanship. Engineered to tackle even the toughest logs, this compact splitting axe delivers maximum force thanks to its 2.7 lb C60 carbon steel head and its shorter 19.6-inch handle. The added weight at the head allows each swing to drive deep into wood with minimal effort, while the unique winged design on the axe head ensures the wood stays split rather than clinging during extraction. This allows for a faster, more efficient workflow, whether you're preparing firewood for the season or clearing heavy brush.

Designed for two-handed use, the Short Splitter features an ergonomic handle crafted from premium U.S.-sourced hickory. This wood is known for its superior durability and shock-absorbing qualities, helping reduce vibration and user fatigue during extended use. The handle is shaped for a secure, confident grip and balanced to optimize every swing, giving you both control and power in a compact form. 

What sets the Short Splitter apart visually is its rugged dual-tone finish. The handle matte black, anti-slip coating that enhances control during use, especially in wet or cold conditions, while the striking red accents make the axe easy to spot and lend a bold, professional look. It's a tool that works hard and looks the part.

At 4.0 lbs total and measuring 19.6 inches in length, the Short Splitter offers a solid, manageable feel that doesn’t sacrifice precision. Its compact size makes it an ideal companion for outdoor work where portability and power are essential. The included heavy-duty leather sheath, crafted in Lithuania, adds an extra layer of safety and convenience. Reinforced stitching and secure button closures ensure the axe stays protected during storage and transport.

Adler has been crafting tools professionals trust since 1919, and the Short Splitter is no exception. It reflects over a century of dedication to quality, with a focus on practical design, high-performance materials, and dependable results. Whether you're splitting logs at a campsite, managing a woodpile, or adding a workhorse to your gear, this axe is built to keep up.
