I can think of a reason every time I am in the bush when theyd make a difference.

I split 3 to 6 inch logs by hamerring them down the log or prying with full force to split it. This provides me with dry core wood for fires in damp conditions which is most of the year where I live.

A hatchet is too heavy and I have snapped several blades doing this but never a Busse product.
