Axe hammers

Hammer on the butt

— the hammer on the butt allows the use of universal or tourist axes for driving nails; pegs when setting up a tent; chipping bricks and so on. Cleavers — for hitting with a mallet, hammer or other log on the butt in case of jamming of the ax in the log. It is worth considering that the above actions are highly not recommended for classic butts, as this is fraught with loosening of the wedge in the ax handle, which can be traumatic in the future. On axes with plastic and fibreglass handles, manufacturers even leave a reminder that when hitting the butt during operation, the ax loses its warranty.
