Sitka; Top of the morning sir, hope the week treats you well.
Here's a video of a guy testing one that looks more or less like mine and is splitting wood identical to what we've got here. Actually I think the Wranglerstar chap is just south of us in Washington.
I see that there's a few out there that are variations on the theme, but the idea seems to work out - or at least on our stringy Doug Fir and sappy Tamarack.
Lastly, I've painted mine blaze orange and can't tell you how many times I've been happy I did so!
