In Canada, where winters are long and cold, properly stacked firewood is more than neatness — it’s survival. A good stack allows your wood to dry faster, burn hotter, and stay mold- and pest-free. Poor stacking, on the other hand, leads to damp, smoky wood that wastes energy and clogs chimneys.

Australia has always relied on quality tools. From the early settlers clearing land with axes, to modern farmers managing large properties, to competitive woodchoppers showcasing skill on the national stage, tools are more than just equipment—they’re part of Australia’s heritage.

Even the best axe handle doesn’t last forever. Whether it breaks during a hard strike or simply wears out over years of use, a damaged handle doesn’t mean the end of your favourite tool. In fact, replacing an axe handle can breathe new life into your axe — often making it stronger and safer than before.

Here’s why a good replacement handle matters, how to pick the right one, and why Axeman.ca is the go-to place to buy in Canada.

When you think of groomsman gifts, you might picture flasks, cufflinks, or engraved bottle openers. But today’s couples are looking for gifts that are personal, practical, and memorable — and axes are leading the charge.

Sharpening tools has always been a critical task for craftsmen, outdoors enthusiasts, and tradespeople. From knives and axes to chisels and scissors, a sharp edge is essential for safety, efficiency, and precision. Traditional sharpening methods often rely on skill, experience, and trial-and-error—leading to inconsistent results. That’s where the Tormek sharpening system comes in, completely redefining the process and earning its reputation as the world’s leading sharpening solution.

Canadian winters can be brutal on tools. Moisture, freezing temperatures, and ice can quickly damage axes, saws, and other gear if not properly maintained. In this guide, you’ll learn how to inspect your tools before winter, sharpen safely in cold conditions, store and protect equipment, and prevent common winter failures. Plus, we’ve included a downloadable PDF checklist to keep your tools in top shape all season long.

Read the full guide to ensure your axes, saws, and winter gear stay reliable and ready for any job in Canada’s harshest months.

As the 2025–26 Canadian winter forecast suggests cold snaps, heavy snowfall, and intense storms—not just snow, but windstorms—it's crucial to prepare for more than just low temperatures and snowdrifts. Windstorms can compound the damage: they bring down trees, tear off roofs, knock out power, and blow snow into drifts that are near-impossible to clear without the right gear. Here’s why preparing with high-quality axes, saws, and related tools from Axeman.ca isn’t just helpful—it may be essential.

Canadian winters can be unforgiving. For bushcrafters and outdoorsmen, the drop in temperature brings new challenges: frozen wood, brittle handles, and tools that need extra care to perform in the cold. Preparing your gear before the snow hits is the difference between smooth winter outings and costly mistakes.

Over the last decade, outdoor survival and bushcraft have shifted from niche hobbies to widely recognized skills, thanks in part to television shows like Alone on Discovery. The series drops contestants in remote wilderness locations and challenges them to live off the land using only a handful of tools. For many viewers, this was their first introduction to bushcraft—the art of thriving in nature using traditional skills.

When you head into the outdoors, having the right tools can mean the difference between a smooth trip and unnecessary frustration. Among the essentials, a folding saw is often overlooked but is one of the most versatile and valuable tools for bushcraft, camping, and property maintenance. At Axeman.ca, we are proud to carry the Woxna Folding Saw, a Swedish-made tool that blends durability, portability, and cutting power in one compact design.

A sharp blade is safer, faster, and more efficient. Whether you are a professional sharpener, a chef, or a hobbyist, being able to measure sharpness consistently takes the guesswork out of blade maintenance.

That’s where Edge On Up Sharpness Testers come in. Using the internationally recognized BESS scale (Brubacher Edge Sharpness Scale), these testers provide a repeatable, numerical value for sharpness. Instead of relying on subjective tests like slicing paper or shaving hair, you get scientific proof of edge quality.
