All of my wedges and axes are spray painted bright red for that reason,
at least the ones I still have.....

I use an ax called "The Chopper I"  Its amazing... I can typically split
anything 18-24" in 1 to 2 swings.  Its got two spring loaded flanges on
either side of the axe that push open as the axe strikes and sinks,
providing a really effective mechanical advantage.  I found my first
Chopper
axe as a boy exploring in the woods and saved it for some reason.  10
years
later I actually decided to use the axe and got two seasons out of it
before
losing it in the woods. (and the cycle continues).  I searched online
for a
new one for three years before finding the website.
