Vipukirvers Leveraxe® Classic MX 2.7KG made in Mexico

Thanks to 73-year-old Finnish inventor Heikki Kärnä, the image of the gorge axe as we know it will soon change. His 'lever axe' works on a completely different principle, requires less power, is safer and works many times faster than the traditional version. That the principle works has already been proven, the axe has won many innovation awards and is praised by the pros.

The axe head of the Vupukirves sits on the side of the handle, so that the centre of gravity is not in the middle when the axe touches the wood. As a result, the axe only penetrates the wood by about eight centimetres and is then stopped by the widening of the axe head. By extending the stem, your feet are safe and you don't have to use as much force. Because of these adjustments, the axe requires a slightly less firm grip, so that the axe can do its job.

Give yourself a warmer winter with less work.
