Great for Grannies! November 9, 2009
D. E. Nicely
I bought this axe hoping that I might be able to use it, although I'd never used an axe before. I'm a 65 year old grandmother and wanted to be able to split my firewood into sizes I needed.
Well, with some trepidation I tried it over the weekend and it was so easy. My 16 year old grandson kept asking to try and we spent the afternoon taking turns. We both love it and found the act of wood splitting almost therapeutic. Great product, I've always had Fiskar's scissors, but this is my first axe.
Another plus with this axe is it's light weight; it doesn't tire one out, it also makes it easy to use it as a hatchet in splitting kindling.
This is a very good product and a great bargain.

i just got mine today and took it out back to test it on some logs i consider to be tough customers, on the first swing i though i had missed but it split the log so smoothly i was amazed. no more 12 pound maul for me. i am 5 feet 9 inches ,190 lbs. and i think the handle is just fine
Chopping wood for Pleasure? September 3, 2009

It may sound corny, but I actually like chopping wood with this thing. I chopped a cord and a half of green doug fir, in about an hour without even realizing it. Cuts like butter right through knots and all. Feels very solid.
On the contrary to a previous review, this axe is Very sharp. I am going to purchase the sharpener to maintain the edge.
I plan on upgrading my whole yard * garden tool arsenal with Fiskars.
The warranty is one of the best in the industry as well.

I love this axe. I recommend also buying a blade sharpener if you don't already have one.
My Favorite Axe March 15, 2009
BargainHunter
I've owned this axe for approximately three years and really like both the design and the construction. It is light weight and cuts well. The handle is very durable and the head flares out beyond the handle to make it less likely to get stuck in the wood. I have not driven on the back side of it with a sledge but use the axe in conjunction with wedges. The orange paint on the end of the handle is very nice for finding it when cleaning up in the evening; however, I added a band of white reflective tape between the orange and black to make it even easier to find at night with a flashlight. The cutting edge does pick up the occasional nick, but no more than my old wooden-handle axe did.
