The purpose of the two-headed axe is you can keep one side very sharp with a steep bevel for chopping a tree normally and the other side more dull with not as steep of a bevel for hitting things like roots near the ground where your edge could hit a rock or something. Source: Wacked a tree or two.

Fun fact for anyone who sees this. A double bit axe has two blades for a reason other than looking cool. It has to do with edge retention in different materials. One side of the axe is sharpened to a different angle than the other. The sharper of the two sides is for chopping higher up on the tree, where you aren't in danger of smashing your axe into the ground, and the other side is for work closer to the ground, where the different angle is a sturdier edge that won't take as much damage when you invariably clip the ground by accident.

The toxic-yet-non-volatile fumes that would build up (if there's any space in the can to fill it with gas) would probably ruin the oxygen-gas mixture to cause an explosion. But we don't know how full the can is, nor do we know how thick the cans are.

The reason some axes have two blades is for woodcutting, one blade is kept extremely sharp for easy felling of a tree, while the other is kept a bit more dull for chopping roots, as striking the ground is a quick way to dull any sharp blade, so one blade is kept a bit more dull.

[@loganf4409]

And clearing off the bark around your cutting area because the bark holds dust and other abrasives which will also dull the blade quickly

double headed axes, also known as a double-bit, have two blades with two different bevels. One is a thinner bevel to chop into wood easier and to also dig in deeper each cut, while the other is broader to split, making each hit drive the wood further from itself.

There is actually a very good reason to have a double headed axe, especially in lumberjack work/logging.

Hey to answer your question about the double bit axe or the double headed is one side is sharpened to a duller edge for chopping wood and the other Is sharper for hemming branches like chopping them off getting it ready to cut into sections so one side is more dull and the other is sharper its so you don't have to carry 2 different axes for different uses

[@Kleiner_Lutz]

The reason for a double headed axe: lumberjacks who got paid by the tree actually needed differently ground edges. One was used to remove bark, including moss and maybe little stones and all that, and the other edge had a more flat grind and was solely for cutting the clean wood. Thus allowed them to cut trees down more easily without having to re-sharpen their axes all the time

[@theredneckbuddha2763]

Oh I though it was for the wii remote strap so you can swing it around like a helicopter in the apocolypse

[@_coffeebean_]

nice TIL right there!

[@richsterstites]

Get paid by the tree? Why would a tree pay you to cut it down

[@Kleiner_Lutz]

@@richsterstites can't explain it better, English is not my first language. Per tree?

[@jacobpowell4516]

@@Kleiner_Lutz excellent! im glad others know about this... also the "cleaning bit" would also be used at times to deal with roots. keeping the "work edge" or "front bit" it top shape for the tree felling.

[@shepdog1274]

Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but: “The purpose of the Double Bit Axe head is to have one side razor sharp and the other side more dull and rounded. Use the razor sharp side for chopping and cutting, and use the duller, rounded side for splitting.”

[@rumpelforeskin]

also using the hook on the duller side for hooking into felled trees for dragging it around

[@razortech9260]

I thought it was to balance the weight so that it doesn't feel heavy on one side

[@The_Demolitionist]

Double headed axes are used for bad and good conditions. One side made for cutting threw bark or close to grond where the cutting edge can get dameged while the other for better conditions like the tree under the bark to keep the cutting edge sharp.

[@therealforge]

Okay, I've seen way worse first projects. The axe mostly works. A+, keep at it. Sponsor placement is excellent. Just found your videos today, but I'm going to sub.
