28" Chopping Axe, Ultra-Sharp Blade for Kindling with Ease, Weight Balanced, Garden and Outdoor Gear, 3.5 pounds, Black

This Fiskars 28" Chopping Axe is an outstanding tool! The ultra-sharp blade makes quick and effortless work of kindling and smaller logs – it truly slices through wood with ease. I'm especially impressed with how well-balanced it feels, making each swing efficient and less tiring. It's the perfect size and weight (3.5 pounds) for general garden and outdoor tasks. A must-have for anyone needing a reliable and effective chopping axe!

Fiskars continues to sell quality products! I have many splitting axes this one is at the top of the list though. I split ash, cherry, and solid chunks of beech, all unseasoned. This axe does a really good job at absorbing most of the shock and doesn't sting my hands when you bite into a solid piece of wood. Very sharp! Excellent value for the money and I know it is built to last!

Good quality id say for its price, not much better on Amazon, it is plenty long. The blade seems to hold up well. Stays sharp from my testing, looks cool like the axe from the game "the forest" Like I said its long so not the best in terms of portability, but the lightest axe i held, so it isn't too bad. It has a plastic thing to protect the blade in transport, seems to be made to last, don't see it going anytime soon. Still this is a sharp axe that will stay sharp, best sold on Amazon iv seen and cheaper then the ones at hardware stores that get dull fast

I also have the Fiskars X25 splitting axe and while I've read that the longer handle is best for taller folks I gotta say that the X25 feels more less comfortable and like it would be easier to short swing. Of the two I prefer the longer handle and I am 5'10". I love both of my Fiskers axes. Just bought the X7 hatchet and it is excellent as well. Updated: I've now been using the X27 for almost 5 years. Like some other guys under 6' 3", I prefer using the longer handled X27 to the X25 - I get more leverage and I think that it is safer - I stand farther away from the round so a miss or glancing blow will not go into my foot or leg but into the ground (that said I still wear steel toed boots when splitting wood). This axe has just been a solid performer for me for splitting wood. Maintenance is easy - a good file works fine an is pretty quick, the edge stays sharp a good while. The handle provides a very good griping surface even when wet. This axe design and materials have given me a far better ratio of swings to splits than axes I have used in the past decades. About a year ago I added the Fiskars 8 lb 36" handle maul to my inventory and am very glad that I did. Yeah it isn't cheap - but what really excellent tool is - you get what you pay for when it comes to tools - doesn't take many handle replacements to make up the price difference. Yes, the X27 axe is great on a lot of wood rounds but come on, use the proper tool for the proper use and you'll find it worthwhile. Bottom line is that I go with Fiskars and not just because I am an Alaskan Finn. Finns won't abide shoddy tools. I hope that Fiskars keep a close eye on quality assurance and control and maintain the high quality of their tools .

Hated to buy this. I do not have a fireplace. I am not a logger. I will be 66 years old in May...already have an axe, a couple of hatchets, chainsaw...stuff that you need if you live in a rural area. No log-splitter, never needed one. But I made a small-to-medium fire pit in my back yard...just to sit around and relax with friends. Have been buying "bundles" of wood from Lowe's to build the occasional fire. My neighbor had a tree on his property that he needed cut down. Told me that he noticed that I built a fire every so often, and asked me if I wanted some of the wood. Told him I did, and a few days later, he dumped a load of wood in my back yard! It was all cut to a good length...about 18-22 inches long...but needed to be "busted" up. Wood cures and burns better if it is split...more surface area. Tried splitting it with a regular axe...just didn't "cut" it! (Sorry about the pun.) Did not need to buy a log splitter for a relatively small pile of wood...but the axe was working me to death. Sledge hammer and wedge sounded too much like work. So...after looking everywhere, at other options, I picked this. I am glad. Got it today...went outside, got my distance right...bam! One swing, split! All the way to the ground! Next log, one swing, split! Again, all the way to the ground. These are not huge logs...10-12-14 inches in diameter. 18-22 inches long. But they split like kindling! My regular axe would just bury up and stick. Usually takes 3-4-5 swings with my axe. This thing is great. Comes ready to use. Not razor sharp...not supposed to be. It is not made for chopping...it is made for splitting, and it is plenty sharp for that. Can't rate it for durability...have only used it for one day...but I made a couple of over-strikes, and the handle shows no damage. Would buy again if I needed one. Highly recommend.

Fantastic product. Very light, but very solidly built. Be careful, the blade is very sharp!

Great axe, quality and price

Nice sharp axe. Great carrying case.

Bastante afilada y se siente lijera al cortar un tronco

The handle is short, works great for my younger son, who is 10yrs old. Its very sharp and light weight, yet heavy enough to chop a block of wood in to pieces. The travel case is good keeps the blade safely stowed away.
