It’s light but I actually like that part. Light axe = Conserve energy for more chopping. Still cut through 10” locust trees in no time. Time will tell how it holds up, but if it’s like my fisker hatchet, I think it’ll do just fine.

The axe is just what I wanted.The blade cover was off of the blade and the box was beat up.Poor packaging

5.0 out of 5 stars Razor sharp 3 years later! Best Axe ever

I started out with a hatchet from Fiskars (the x7) it is an amazing little axe but wasnt good for big logs or trees. I wanted something for backpacking trips in heavy winter in northern california. This axe was the perfect addition.Someone laughed at the hollow handle telling me it would break. I love the hollow handle, great for storing fire tinder or a fire starter rod. This Axe is no joke, its razor sharp even after 3 years of moderate use. Only chipped a tiny piece when i hit an embedded rock in a tree. Cut down a 16 inch diameter tree with this solely, in about 20-30 minutes was taking out 3-4 inch chunks with each swing. I tried other axe's of the same length that would just bounce off the tree no matter how sharp they were, or they got stuck in the wood making you bend the handle back and forth to get them out. not this axe. Has the perfect angle head for chopping at a tree. Comes right out of the wood when buried in it. Havent tried it as a splitting axe much but that wasn't its intent. Ive kept it sharp with a stone, holds a nice edge for a long time.Did a mention its super lightweight? i dont even notice it on my backpack other than when the handle hits my legs. The plastic carrying case/ blade protector is nice, it securely locks the axe head in place and gives you the perfect place to put a carabiner to your backpack.I could totally see myself with this axe 20 years from now lol Provided you dont lose it. it does blend well with he forest floor almost left it once.

Got it for my son's 15th bday recently. We have a bunch of trees that need taking down and our Husky 3.5 lb universal axe is decent but heavy. I was a little worried about the short length but since he's just 15 and the reviews were compelling, I gave this Fiskars axe a shot.We were not disappointed. The short length takes some getting used to but it's a quick adjustment, physically. I have lingering lower back problems and still haven't suffered any pain due to the short length over a month later, and we use it at least 3 times a week for hours straight sometimes.It's super light due to the smaller head, shorter handle, and the handle's hollow design is brilliant. The occasional bad swing doesnt leave your entire body in shock like the Husky does. The hollow design dissipates the blow almost completely.The smaller axe head is perfect for precise cuts and the blade is thin enough to penetrate trunks deep. Also, the design and material provide a full proof joint where the head meets the handle. They pretty much become one with each other. Then you become one with it.Couple this with the ability to either save energy with each swing or put the same energy you would with a typical heavier axe into each swing of this lightweight sturdy guy, and you have the option of either felling a decent size tree without barely breaking a sweat, or rip it down in record time. This is one bad axe mother feller. Buy it.When they say cut 2 to 3 times deeper (if not more) and swing up to 3 to 4 times more per minute, it's not a lie. This little thing bites hard and makes quick easy work of any chopping job.

I bought this for a camping trip I was going on. I hobby in bushcraft, and own a home surrounded by treeline. I bought this because of some of the other reviews on here, and the price being relatively inexpensive. I needed something I could keep strapped to my bag when out in the woods, but versatile enough to limb a tree or split firewood at home (or in the woods for that matter).The axe is LIGHT! I was a bit concerned about this fact, considering i've been manually splitting logs with a two bit axe that weighs more than a small child. This thing split wood like a charm - better than an axe with a lot more weight. Because it's so light, you have much more control and are able to come down and split smaller pieces more accurately.I must have not read too far into these reviews, because I had no clue the handle was hollow. It's a nice feature, but the axe itself doesn't come with a cap at the bottom. I assume it's hollow to save weight and not to store too many things in the handle, as that'll throw the weight distribution off slightly.Having said that, there's a small screw size hole at the bottom of the handle where i attached a bolt to a wingnut, so that I could utilize the space. The hollow handle isn't really a good way to store anything other than long thin items. I was able to slip in an axe file and a spare bow saw blade, as well as a couple screws. Once everything was in, I threaded the screw through the holes, and fastened it with the wingnut.The only knock I have at this point was the sheath. It's a fine sheath, but the tip of my axehead seems to catch a lip or something inside the sheath, preventing it from going in with ease. it's annoying but not worth losing a star over.Overall fantastic all around axe. Everyone should have one!

great quality, really light. amazing axe

Need a heavy-duty chopper - this is IT...

Probably the best 'large'-sized chopping axe available at any price.Simply eats through most types of timber with minimal effort.Comfortable to use and the fibre-comp handle eliminates most of the dangers associated with over-strikes with this size of axe.

What a step up

A.C. · October 6, 2018

I can see why this axe has a cult following. Splits logs and cuts trees like butter. What a step up over the last axe I had. The only annoying part of it was not Fiskars' fault, it was Bolo who stuck their UPC codes all over the axe head and made it a nightmare to scrape it all off. Especially annoying when you can see that Fiskars went through the effort of paying extra for expensive labels on the axe that peel off nicely in one go.

Very nice no fuss chopping axe

Chops like a dream. Aint no beauty like a Hults Bruk, but seems to perform just as well.
