Having read other positive reviews and owning other Fiskars products, I gave this a try. Was concerned about the relatively light weight compared to other axes I have owned, but it is a brilliant axe, so effortless to use. And the long, long guarantee is a bonus.

This is a very well made axe. The grip is fantastic and even though it was my first attempt at splitting dense wood, it went rather smoothly. You need to get the swing and the angle of attack just right. (See Fiskars own videos). The top corner has started to show slight signs of damage, but I hope it would get sorted with a bit of sharpening.

Fiskars don't disappoint. This is a capable splitting axe, I've been sending it through some 30cm diameter, 20cm thick cherry rounds with ease. The extra few centimetres of length it has over the X17 works well with my longer arms and increases the head speed.

Bought this because it was recommended by a friend. The best axe I’ve ever bought, splits half logs with no effort
