Fiskars axes combine perfect weight distribution, advanced blade geometry and an ultra-sharp edge to disperse wood more effectively. The result? More one-strike splits with every swing. |
When it comes to axes, bigger isn’t always better. To choose the best length for your height, extend the arm while holding the axe. Swing the handle back towards you as if holding a bow. The end of the handle should line up right where your arm extension begins. |
Fiskars ultra-sharp chopping axes chop deeper with every swing, making them ideal for feeling trees. To prep firewood, choose Fiskars splitting axes, designed to help you easily split small- to medium-sized logs. |
In a nation known for woodlands, Fiskars has constructed axes of the finest quality since 1649, passing down the kinds of traditions and knowledge that can only be attained through generations spent perfecting the craft. |

It's 100% true. I started with an old axe I had and as much as I enjoyed it, I found it laborious, but satisfying. Drawing from my other saying, "a man is only as good as his tool." I went on Amazon that evening to look up better axes. I came across the Fiskars X27 36 inch monster. Based on the reviews, it was a sure purchase. I'm glad I did. Frankly the rest is history. I mauled through 4 trees withing a week's time, resulting a ton of firewood stacked in my property line as a natural wall in my backyard. It was an enlightening and exhilarating experience.
"Chop wood, it's good." My other saying now.

Chop wood, it's good! The Fiskars X27 does not disappoint. Buy with confidence!
By Mr. Quality and Value on December 17, 2017
Dude...amazing! This axe is a hipster's wood chopping dream come true. I'm a middle age homeowner in the Chicago area. I have mature trees around my home and I admit I'm a nature lover. It was heartbreaking to see my beautiful ash trees get taken by the Emerald Ash Borer. If you're not familiar, google it. 4 mature trees were stricken and had to be cut down to avoid damage to my house if the perfect storm hit. Also, I notice sticks and bark constantly under these dead trees. It was time to deal with it. The dead Ash trees became a liability. So, through research and a few bids from local contractors, the cost of service per tree would cost me $700 per tree, translated 4 trees will cost $2800. Valuing every cent I make, I felt I could do something more meaningful with $2800. Like a big screen TV, jk. No more like a vacation. After more research, I made the decision to pursue cutting them down myself. I do not recommend you doing it yourself and if you do, be extra careful and mindful of what you're doing and what can happen. Fast forward, I'm glad I did. Felling trees is exciting and liberating. It's hard to describe that feeling when my first tree fell. I purchased a Stihl Ms291 Farm Boss from a local Ace's Hardware. and went to town. All 4 ash trees fell. All 4 were sawed into proportional pieces and next was the chopping. It occurred to me that I wanted to manually chop at my own pace instead of renting a hydraulic wood chopper, since I frankly wanted to enjoy every part of this process rather than powering through the chopping. It didn't seem right considering the trees were probably at least 15-20 years old each. Plus, I heard it was a satisfying activity, chopping wood, famous quote, "Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water."By Mr. Quality and Value on December 17, 2017

So buyer beware of this warranty, it’s pretty pointless. They didn’t even offer to send me a prepaid label or anything like that. I was fairy disappointed.
Also, the edge chipped pretty easy on the axe head.

Disappointing warranty
By DM on March 6, 2020
The axe worked well, until it broke from normal use. I reached out to Fiskars for warranty support on their so called lifetime warranty and all they told me was to send in the broken handle and they would send me a new axe. The problem with that is sending them the broken handle will cost about the same as a new axe...By DM on March 6, 2020

I've found choosing one of these tools isn't about finding the single best one, as they each have different techniques. The antique on the left can be thought of as a dull cutting axe with a broad elliptical cross section. It is great. Narrow and relatively light, the narrowness guides the ax through the wood, but also is more likely to get stuck in incomplete splits, so it's great for small logs. The cheap speed maul on the right was actually my favorite until the head broke off. Apparently a clone of the True Temper Sledge Eye here on Amazon, it is dull and heavy with an aggressively tapered head. This allows an aggressive swing not prone to get stuck, great for breaking up large rounds.
The Fiskars apparently seeks to bridge the gap between these two approaches with its heavy yet razor sharp continuous wedge design. It is heavy and not prone to get stuck while simultaneously having a narrower head. The problem I've found is splitting wood that does not have straight grain. The sharp edge will catch on a knot/piece of the log during/after the split. Then, because of its longer narrower head, the head wants to turn from the inertia---taking your hand with it. If your hands are attached to your body, this is a problem. I think Fiskars realized this, because the handle is rounded and symmetric, preventing a good grip. I've learned to definitely keep my non-dominant hand away from the toe in case it decides to twist. To insure not getting my hand broken, I have to hold it loosely at completion, resulting in a swing akin to throwing the ax into the wood. This is where the extra weight of the Fiskars comes in handy, but you also have to lift that same weight every swing. The speed maul doesn't have this problem. It allows me to have a firm grip and put my body weight into the completion of the swing. Since it is lighter, it is also much easier to bring it up to speed.
I think it comes down to individual preference. What garners the four stars is that the Fiskars is rugged, and I don't imagine breaking the head off for some time, if ever.

Choosing a splitter?
By NP on December 11, 2015
You may have noticed that this product description states that it recommends "taller users". As you can see from the picture, it is only about 2" longer than other common tools in its class. I think what Fiskars is trying to say without offending anyone, is that this product is for people strong enough to wield it. It is longer and heavier than the 4lb speed maul to the right of it in the picture. It is also razor sharp, unlike the other two axes in the picture.By NP on December 11, 2015
