Good axe
This is a rather good axe and it's nice to use. I used it as a felling axe to clear some paths in the forest.
I used it to replace a very very old steel-head axe with a hickory handle (the head kept coming off and I don't have to tools to hang it again.) Being new it was nice and sharp, didn't get stuck too much. It was a bit shorter than I expected -- my old axe was a 25- or 26-inch, so 24 seemed a tad short whereas 28-inch seemed too long. Going from a hickory handle to synthetic, the feeling is not the same when it hits, it gave a much harsher feeling in my arms. It was also a tad lighter than my old axe. Fine, I had to adjust a bit, I got over it and the result is that I cut some hard old wood faster than before and it was a lot of fun.
Great for felling trees or chopping kindling.
I found it easy to drop a 6 inch cedar and it has kept its edge extremely well. I bought the sharpener along with this axe and found it to work well also. I would buy a Fiskars again.
I would call this a Felling AXE
They have this listed as a chopping Axe. I would call it a Felling Axe or a Low-weight felling Axe. And it is the best one I have ever used. I purchased this Axe to replace a stolen Stihl felling Axe and I love it. For easy and efficient felling, cutting and limbing it can not be beat and it works nicely for driving felling wedges. At under half the price of a Stihl you would be crazy not to get one. I would suggest buying the Fiskars sharpener with it. It makes keeping the edge on the Axe sharp and pretty much idiot proof.
