Its shock-absorbing FiberComp handle is stronger than steel and designed to prevent overstrike damage, while the PermaHead insert-molded design ensures the blade never loosens.

## 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. 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. 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.

Review: Glad I picked the proper one - Considered many hatchet/axe options on desertcart. From $10 to $60. Bought Fiskars X15 Axe based on reviews and reputation. (I've been using the same Fiskars Lopper reliably for ten years - 100s of large branch cuts.) The Madrona tree (1460 on the Janka scale; Pine is 480; Oak is 1300) I needed to cut was difficult to access so I need to be equipped with a capable manual tool. Had I purchased anything less sharp/durable, it would have required two trips and I needed to avoid that. Tree was 9"x7.5" in diameter - I used the axe single handed and double handed - Tree was surprisingly tough...took me 20 minutes to get through it (I'm in my 60s and decent condition) Cuts were deep, balance was good, shock loads to arms hands were moderate. Edge still slices paper afterwards. See pics. This is a very nice tool - glad I made this choice.
Review: Fantastic tool! - I put a lot of time researching this ax before finally making the purchase. After watching countless videos and reading many reviews, I couldn't help but think that this tool was going to be extraordinary. I was not at all disappointed. First off all, if you visit Fiskars website about this product [...], you will see that the use and purpose of this tool is not for splitting wood, but for felling trees. I have only felled trees with axes greater than 27 inches in length in the past, so I was fairly skeptical about using such a short felling ax. My skepticism was tamed when I took it up to my property in Idaho one weekend to clear some land of live and dead trees that needed to be chopped down. It didn't take much effort to swing this small ax, but I was very surprised to see how deep this cut with minimal effort. I didn't get worn out so quickly like I do when swinging a longer ax. I found that my endurance lasted much longer with this short handle than with a longer one. On top of being able to last longer and cut with such a sharp blade, my wife, who is 5' 2", was able to use this thing very well! It is a great product that both her and I are able to use and not compromise the ability to fell trees quickly. The blade on this maintained its edge very well, and it was not hard to keep sharp. I sharpened it regularly to keep its edge, but looking back, I didn't really need to. Another feature of which I was skeptical is the hollow handle. I thought that there would be a lot of vibration in the fiberglass handle while chopping, but it was just the opposite. there was no vibration, and the smooth handle had plenty of grip- even in sweaty hands-, but didn't give me blisters. This is a tool well worthy of five starts! I highly recommend this product from the most experienced to the least experienced.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: On a scale of 1-10, how useful is this super splitting axe against a zombie?**
A: With Zombies sometimes recovering from FATAL BLOWS it has always been my practice to follow-up with a GOOD WOOD CHIPPER. AMAZON sells a good 7HP Heavy Duty 212cc Gas Powered 3:1 Multi-Function Pro Wood Chipper Shredder https://www.amazon.com/GreatCircleUSA-Heavy-Duty-212cc-Powered/dp/B075SG6372/ref=sr_1_4?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1538798975&sr=1-4&keywords=wood+chipper This can be very messy but is made easier by cutting section with a chainsaw. I use the STIHL MS 271 FARM BOSS 20" bar.

**Q: Brand new axe split a dozen dry logs. Corners of blade already slightly chipped. Never hit rocks or hard objects.  Is this normal?**
A: I get chips dings and rolled edges regularly with mine. I need to sharpen it after about an hour or so. It performs very well, but I wish it was a bit more durable. I am splitting hard woods and I am don't go easy on it at all. I am happy that the handle has held up even when I smashed it into a log on a freezing cold day.

**Q: how to replace handle on Fiskars Axe?**
A: Fiskars products are warranted to the consumer purchaser to be free of defects in material and
workmanship for as long as the consumer owns the product. Warranty does not cover
sharpening, normal wear and tear, environmental factors, accidental damage, misuse,
industrial/commercial use.

well after a quick look at the warranty 
i think you may only get a replacement if it was shipped that way
if it was wear and tear or anything like that it isnt their responsibility

**Q: Is the X27 (36" handle) too long for a short (5'2") female?**
A: I am 5'6" and I thought this X27 was too heavy and too long for me and returned it. I am a former member of the US military and found this 36 inch long axe very cumbersome and difficult to raise over my head.  I bought a smaller model with a 3 pound head and a shorter handled (28 inches long.)  I can only assume the small and average sized women who are saying this axe is fine are super amazons, which I am not.
