Do you need to keep them sharp, I always thought that splitting axes were meant to be blunt. It did surprise me when I received my Fiskars that it was pretty sharp.

how much

 

Reduced by £543.79 to a bargain £1087.21

 

Actually they just edit their price to a ridiculous amount when they run out of stock so no-one will order then edit it back when stock comes in. It saves them the cost of re-listing

I have a massive fibreglass handled maul which is heavy and not that efficient but is handy for some big bits.

 

I also have one of these

It's 3 yrs old and light enough to swing all day but really gets through stuff quickly and easily. I have replaced the handle on my one but after about 400 tonnes....

Well, ordered the Fiskars. Will see how it compares to my £12 Toolstation maul! (Which, to be fair, has done a good job for the price).

Great axes

[sandspider]

Will do. Probably won't be until later in Nov though as I'm going on holiday soon.

 

To be fair, only had a few bits that I actually couldn't split with the Toolstation maul - and I don't know if anything else could split them either. I'll find out! Got the fiskars as a birthday present, and I've got some holly to split, so that should test it thoroughly. (It blunted my saw chain quicker than anything else I've sawed up until now!)
