Fiskars x27

[redmoosefaction]

When we were all failing to get our x27s from amazon usa last year, I sent an email to fiskars uk asking if I could buy them wholesale( was thinking of us as a group ofg arbtalk members)

Got a daft evasive reply from them, so I persisted and got, I reply to say not a uk market item yet blah, blah. But I wasn't impressed with the quality of reply in that instance and this looks like a pass the book. I think Finland will perhaps be the way you may need to go. Fiskars is a popular brand in the uk, It must be worth their while keeping us sweet.

 

And if it's sold in the EU by a dealer, What's the score there? Hmmm

Why does the 27 not retail in the uk?

Surely these axes aren't indestructible. I could imagine a number of ways I could break the handle though up to now have avoided that.

Having lent it to someone who I then caught splitting on concrete without a block. I could imaging THEM breaking one:sneaky2:

Note to self- don't lend out my axe.

We should take fiskars to the european court of human rights claiming discrimination, they are insinuating uk residents of all being under 5ft and not needing the longer shafted X27. Probably under a vertically challenged ruling.

Looking on the net now looks like it may be available in the UK. Fiskars X27 Splitting Axe- 54.99 At Garden4less - Free Delivery Available but is out of stock

 

Manage to fail to split some wood from up the field with it yesterday. I normally split when freshly felled but this has sat about for a few months now and due to the unusual weather we are having the wood has started to dry and the axe made little impression. Mind you they are horrible pieces and even the Hycrack is struggling to tare these brutes apart.

WINNER!

 

They came up with the goods. They said they would get one from the states, anyway, it arrived this morning.

 

Thank you Fiskars!

Pleased to hear they did not try to wiggle out of it
