Splitting wood can be a pain, but with the 4-14th pound head on the Fiskars Splitting Axe, splitting wood has never been easier. Boasting a 28 inch, glass-fiber reinforced handle and a PTFE coating on the blade (making removal easy), this axe will help you chop wood like a pro.

The axe is worthless, one miss with it in wintertime and the handle cracks and you are left with an zombie stick and a mediocre blade . Ask anybody that have served in the Artic Rangers in Sweden what they think about "Fiskars axes". Better go for an handmade one with hickoryshaft. Swedish Gränsforsbruks Stora Skogsyxan is perfect for that and you don't have to worry about cracked shafts..

I could split the hickory shaft easy I bet , as much as I miss with the head, smashing the handle into my target : )
Did anyone have any thoughts on my guest post below, "Destruction…"? I'll check back to discuss, if so. Thanks

I have the fiskars hatchet and the handle is very slippery with leather gloves. I find my hands ache after 10 or 15 min because I have to grip so tightly. Crazy sharp yes, but not a joy to use. I have wacked the handle several times in sub freezing temps and it has held fine. I also find the light handle makes the balance feel just wrong compared to a more traditional tool.

try wrapping tennis raquet grip tape around the handle. If nothing else just make some cuts around the part you grip to get some traction.
