Amazon.com Product Description
The Fiskars brush axe is a unique tool that combines the attributes of a hatchet and a machete, making the brush axe an ideal multi-purpose tool for all kinds of cutting tasks. The 9-inch cutting blade is made of high quality drop-forged steel for maximum durability and sharpness, and is also treated with a non-stick coating for smooth cuts and rust resistance. The blade has also been insert-molded into the handle to ensure that it will never get loose or separate. Additionally, the handle is made from a unique Nyglass material--a strong and lightweight nylon/fiberglass composite that provides long-lasting durability. The Fiskars brush axe also includes a blade sheath for safe storage and transportation.
Product Description
A machete with the power of an ax. The Brush Ax's thick drop-forged blade rips through underbrush-even small trees-like no flimsy stamped steel machete blades can. Even better the long 21 FiberComp fiberglass handle lets you swing this monster baseball bat style for serious wind-up power. We find the Brush Ax perfect for clearing the overgrown oak savannah that dominates our local landscape. Also a must-have for hacking trails through the willow-infested sloughs up north-ask us how we know.Drop-forged steel blade for greater strength and durability Hardened steel blade with non-stick coating cuts with less effort Insert-molded design prevents blade from loosening or separating from the handle FiberComp construction-reinforced fiberglass composite handle provides strength durability and lighter weight Includes sheath for safe storage and transportation Lifetime warranty

 Should follow Fiskars Axes... October 20, 2009
Peter Teubel (Milford, MA USA)
Everything about it is great (I won't rehash other reviews here)...EXCEPT the edge. Maybe I'm just picky, but the edge it came with was beyond useless. Why can't it come with a nice SHARP edge like Fiskars axes do? After spending 20 minutes giving it a REAL sharpening, it's now working as it should.

Though an avid Amazon customer I purchased this tool through Wallyworld for $21.00. I agree completely with the prior 5 star reviews as to the effectiveness and performance of the tool..outstanding! It just makes you want to chop something. If there's weak links to the product it's the smooth handle and funky "sheath". I fixed the handle issue by wrapping baseball bat friction tape around it. It took my chopping to another level. Try it and you will soon agree. The sheath, (hard plastic locking case) worked for me because I wanted to mount the axe to my tractor so I could whack nutrient depriving suckers off the trees as I cut the grass. The shape and strength allowed me to epoxy a piece of 1/2 in plywood to the tractor and screw the sheath onto it. Now it's always at hand and ready to restore order to my landscape. Finally a word of precaution, the ergonomics lends itself to great and powerful blows. It is super sharp and capable of removing digits and inflicting great injury. Chop smart!
Fiskars Brush Axe September 12, 2009
D. Grayson (Ellicott City, MD USA)
I purchased this item to help clear encroaching brush, wild grape, and kudzu vines from trees along the rear of my property. I was pleased with the overall quality of the ax. The blade is substantial, high quality, and arrived sharp and ready to use. It was a big improvement over a hand scythe that I was loaned for the job. It was easy to swing and cut well. The ax is nicely made and nicely finished. My only complaint/dissappointment is that the blade doesn't have a full length tang. Most of the handle is hollow plastic with the blade captured only in a protion of the black section of the handle. This seems likely to fail with a misplaced hit or two. It got me through the task at hand with ease. It's a good tool as is. I would feel that it was a lifetime tool if it had the additional tang.
Great Bush Whacker! August 28, 2009

This thing works. Amazed that I'm able to chop through limbs and branches several inches thick.
Nice Tool August 13, 2009

I carry this tool on my ATV as an alternative to a machete. It's rock solid, and performs as advertised. As usual Amazon delivered as promised!
