New axe awesomeness!!

[shooterjim]

New x27 arrived yesterday so thought I'd give it a go this afternoon. Tried it on the nasty logs that just refused to split with old axe. Blasted them to pieces! Looks like a worthwhile investment. Even split some 2ft lengths by 14" diameter! Highly recommended tool! Buy it from german eBay and save a fortune too.

Thanks for the info. Was thinking about getting one but not sure where from.

How much for it and was there any carriage import to pay on it??

Fiskars, teflon coated, optimised angle for splitting and reducing the chance of the head sticking in the wood.

Have just been to my mate's farm near John O'Groat's and helped him deal with the bigger bits of a 25 ton load of conifer stem he bought to see him through a couple of winters. He could not believe that such an apparently small axe was splitting 26x16" rings. It's a seriously good axe.

Took your advise and got one from German ebay . 61 euros .

Very, very much worth buying the Fiskars sharpener too. Contrary to received wisdom when it comes to splitters/mauls, the Fiskars ones seem to need to be kept razor sharp for the magic to work.

 

I let mine go dull just to see, and it becomes very average. Sharp though, they're bonkers good. So light too! Doesn't seem like it should work at all!

Love mine! The low weight means you can swing it all day, don't even have to swing it hard to split most logs. Like Adamam says it feels like it shouldn't work but it just does!
