Fiskars axes are crafted with a proprietary grinding technique that provides a sharper edge for better contact and cleaner cuts. Blades also stay sharp longer and include low-friction coating.

Superior Power at Impact

Much like an aluminum baseball bat, perfected weight distribution provides an optimal power-to-weight ratio that increases swing speed to multiply power.

Virtually Unbreakable Design

With stronger-than-steel FiberComp handles and inseparable insert-molded heads, Fiskars X-Series axes don’t just outlast others — they’re virtually impossible to break.

Product Description

Product Description

The all-purpose design of the X15 Chopping Axe makes felling trees quick and easy. Like every X-Series Hatchet or Axe, the X15 combines perfected weight distribution, advanced blade geometry, an ultra-sharp edge and virtually unbreakable design to maximize your performance. This combination of features allows the blade to bite deeper when chopping. With more blade penetration on each swing, you can chop more wood in less time, with less effort and hand strain.

From the Manufacturer

An unwieldy, oversized axe tends to make its user a little nervous - nothing like the thought of an emergency room visit to suck the fun out of felling and limbing trees, eh? That's why Fiskars has designed this chopping axe (Fiskars Chopping Axe 23.5-Inch #7857) with a shorter, more controllable 23-1/2-inch handle. Easier to swing, lets you land the head exactly where you want it. Plus, the hardened steel blade starts out sharp, stubbornly holds its edge, and chews quickly through flinty heartwood with help from the friction-reducing non-stick coating. Better still, Fiskars cures the dangerous problem of loosening axe heads with an insert-molded design locks the blade in place so it won't ever unhitch itself from the durable, weatherproof handle. Includes a sturdy sheath for safe storage and transportation. And the Fiskars lifetime warranty of performance excellence.

I want to like this axe, I do! I have used it for almost three hours over two separate sessions.The good points, this axe splits wood! It is sharp and the weight distribution is amazing. After my first 30 min trial run when I got it was fun. I did not want to quit but it got to dark to keep cutting. This axe is everything they say it is. It makes lighter work of the heavy task of splitting rounds 24"-36" in diameter.Now the only bad point for me, a tingling in my left thumb. I noticed it after the first time and just shook it off as getting used to a new axe. No big deal.The second time I used it for over 2 hours. I split a lot of wood. Wearing gloves with it was not workable. It caused a pinching and began to rub a blister on my left thumb. I took the gloves off and kept going as this axe makes splitting wood as much fun as it can be splitting wood. The tingling in my thumb began to grow. It feels like just the last joint in my thumb is asleep. Now two days later the tingling is still there, but dimishing.This is supposed to have shock-absorbing properties in the handle. But, the end of the handle is hollow. It seems like my left thumb bears the brunt of any vibrations coming down the handle. It makes it unusable for me.EDIT:I did not return the axe as I thought I would. I continued to use it and discovered the discomfort came from the gloves I was wearing. I changed to a different pair and the issue went away.This is an AMAZINg axe. I really like it. You can see from the pictures I have split a little bit of wood since I got it. It has kept a very sharp edges. I have not had to sharpen it and it still cuts though oak and hickory like butter. It has great weight distribution. And after changing gloves I can split till my I just run out of time and have a good bit of work to show for it. I like this axe!I have paired it with the 6.5 lb maul. They are a great combo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great splitting axe
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
As a beginner in the world of wood chopping, I was on the lookout for an axe that wouldn’t be too intimidating or difficult to use. I found exactly what I needed in this splitting axe. Here’s why it’s been great for me:

• Well-Balanced Design: The balance of this axe is remarkable. It’s not too heavy, making it manageable for someone who’s not used to handling such tools. This balance helps in making each swing feel more natural and less tiring, which is really important when you’re just starting out.
• Ease of Use: This axe fits comfortably in the hands, and the grip is secure. I was worried about the axe slipping or being unwieldy, but those fears were unfounded. It’s user-friendly, even for a complete novice like me. Keep in mind I always wear glove when working outside.
• Durability: I’ve been using this axe for a season now, and it’s still as sharp as when I first got it. This durability is a big plus because it means I don’t have to worry about constant maintenance or sharpening, allowing me to focus more on learning the proper techniques.
• Effective on Various Woods: Whether I’ve tackled softwood or hardwood, this axe has performed consistently well. It’s been a great confidence booster to see how effectively it splits different types of wood.

Overall, for any beginners out there looking for their first splitting axe, I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s made my initial foray into wood splitting much less daunting and far more enjoyable.

This review focuses on the aspects that are most relevant and reassuring for someone new to wood splitting, emphasizing the ease of use, balance, and durability of the axe.
