Product Description

From the Manufacturer

He sauntered into camp like he owned the place. Cool, confident, in charge. It wasn't the gear...or was it? He was carrying an enviable axe. I couldn't take my eyes off it. He told me it was designed in Finland, where chopping wood is a national pastime. The 17-1/2-inch Axeman Cometh lightweight axe with sheath. Forged steel heads give this axe superior edge retention. A unique handle made from polymide fiberglass that's injection molded around the head guarantees never to separate or come loose. It also comes with a plastic sheath that doubles as carrying handle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of the 17" Axeman Cometh by Fiskars, July 24, 2000

The axe is great. The blade is very sharp and cuts great. But the axe is too top heavey. If there was a soild handel on it, the axe would be excelent because with the hallow handle it slips out of your hand and tends to bounce. I would suggest that you wear gloves with good grip or a rubberised coated grip on the handle of the axe.
