Fiskars A-Series Super Splitting Axe 36", for Medium to Large Size Logs

I also have the Fiskars X25 splitting axe and while I've read that the longer handle is best for taller folks I gotta say that the X25 feels more less comfortable and like it would be easier to short swing. Of the two I prefer the longer handle and I am 5'10". I love both of my Fiskers axes. Just bought the X7 hatchet and it is excellent as well. Updated: I've now been using the X27 for almost 5 years. Like some other guys under 6' 3", I prefer using the longer handled X27 to the X25 - I get more leverage and I think that it is safer - I stand farther away from the round so a miss or glancing blow will not go into my foot or leg but into the ground (that said I still wear steel toed boots when splitting wood). This axe has just been a solid performer for me for splitting wood. Maintenance is easy - a good file works fine an is pretty quick, the edge stays sharp a good while. The handle provides a very good griping surface even when wet. This axe design and materials have given me a far better ratio of swings to splits than axes I have used in the past decades. About a year ago I added the Fiskars 8 lb 36" handle maul to my inventory and am very glad that I did. Yeah it isn't cheap - but what really excellent tool is - you get what you pay for when it comes to tools - doesn't take many handle replacements to make up the price difference. Yes, the X27 axe is great on a lot of wood rounds but come on, use the proper tool for the proper use and you'll find it worthwhile. Bottom line is that I go with Fiskars and not just because I am an Alaskan Finn. Finns won't abide shoddy tools. I hope that Fiskars keep a close eye on quality assurance and control and maintain the high quality of their tools .

Extremely sharp and splits ash and maple much better than my old splitting maul

Fiskars continues to sell quality products! I have many splitting axes this one is at the top of the list though. I split ash, cherry, and solid chunks of beech, all unseasoned. This axe does a really good job at absorbing most of the shock and doesn't sting my hands when you bite into a solid piece of wood. Very sharp! Excellent value for the money and I know it is built to last!

premium quality

Works very well solid piece

Works well, if you know how to swing an ax durability and edge retention

Great wood splitter. Good feel in your hands. Good weight to split tough logs.

Hated to buy this. I do not have a fireplace. I am not a logger. I will be 66 years old in May...already have an axe, a couple of hatchets, chainsaw...stuff that you need if you live in a rural area. No log-splitter, never needed one. But I made a small-to-medium fire pit in my back yard...just to sit around and relax with friends. Have been buying "bundles" of wood from Lowe's to build the occasional fire. My neighbor had a tree on his property that he needed cut down. Told me that he noticed that I built a fire every so often, and asked me if I wanted some of the wood. Told him I did, and a few days later, he dumped a load of wood in my back yard! It was all cut to a good length...about 18-22 inches long...but needed to be "busted" up. Wood cures and burns better if it is split...more surface area. Tried splitting it with a regular axe...just didn't "cut" it! (Sorry about the pun.) Did not need to buy a log splitter for a relatively small pile of wood...but the axe was working me to death. Sledge hammer and wedge sounded too much like work. So...after looking everywhere, at other options, I picked this. I am glad. Got it today...went outside, got my distance right...bam! One swing, split! All the way to the ground! Next log, one swing, split! Again, all the way to the ground. These are not huge logs...10-12-14 inches in diameter. 18-22 inches long. But they split like kindling! My regular axe would just bury up and stick. Usually takes 3-4-5 swings with my axe. This thing is great. Comes ready to use. Not razor sharp...not supposed to be. It is not made for chopping...it is made for splitting, and it is plenty sharp for that. Can't rate it for durability...have only used it for one day...but I made a couple of over-strikes, and the handle shows no damage. Would buy again if I needed one. Highly recommend.

وصلني مستعمل والنصل حقته فيها كسور

Cuts like butter, careful not to lose the cover, it gets dull and chipped easily without the cover. Works well, weight is as expected, size is as expected. Best price I could find. Would recommend

Fantastic design, execution and price, a truly honourable product worthy of reverence. That said, South Africans should rather start with the 8 pound 36 inch Maul. Our wood — such as White Stinkwood — is not as the balsar wood, in countless You Tube vids shot in North America and Canada. BE WARNED!

best axe (and hatchet) i've owed. SHARP, strong and balanced for swinging.....

I split 2 cords of knoty pine and the edge that it came with is still sharp. Cuts like butter, had a couple miss hits but no damage on the shaft at all. The price is amazing as well at $60?!Cant say enough about this axe!
