URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the splitting axe thusly:
An axe with a rather heavy, wedge-shaped blade. Designed for splitting blocks of wood into firewood. On the other hand, a splitting axe is not so good for any other work.
