The blade of the froe is great but the handle is quite loose and the way its made you can't drive it further into the blade to make it tighter. Made a new handle for it and am really happy with it now.

Hmmm. I'm a little conflicted about this one. I usually use a combination of hatchet and mallet to split my wood but thought I might try this as an alternative. It is certainly beautifully made but and this is a key criticism or observation here, the wooden handle is simply not long enough to make the job pleasurably easy. I will keep it as an alternative but it will not be included in my pack when I go out and about. Woodlore's legendary service continues apace but I feel that this Micro Froe is a bit of a damp squib.

This is a curious piece for me. I've used larger froes for splitting and making shingles so I thought I might try this as a more portable alternative to an axe. It obviously needs a baton but that can be any reasonable chunk of wood. So far only used to make smaller splits for the fire and is very capable in that respect. I'm not sure how to use it for more craft applications, maybe a video on the Woodlore site would offer a few clues? It fits easily in my tool roll and is less conspicuous than an axe so has its niche especially in the UK where folks can be twitchy about blades.
