fiskars axe

[HGBMX]

Evening,

 

just wondering if people use a Fiskars axe for banging in wedges and clipped to their belt while working in the woods? It does not have to be a Fiskars axe just what axes do you guys use? I'm getting sick and tired of dragging around a big splitting axe just to hit a wedge in so I would like a nice short one that I can put on my belt but still has the power and strength to hit a wedge in nicely.

 

cheers

Fiskars is the one for you there light yet strong enough to knock wedges in

 

Merry Christmas!!

yeah that is all I ever hear about them so I really want one just I don't want a long handled beast that would drag around on the floor off the belt so I was wondering if anyone has a shorter one and what X number is it?

Yes I have one of these great lite weight hatchet but I would say its soft metal and does need sharpening a lot

about 60 cms is great if fiskars do them if not the new husqvarna axes are nice

I use a barco forestry axe. About 60cm handle and a 1.2kg head. The handle is broken at the moment after hitting some hi lifts far too hard. I carry it in a hammer holder on my logging belt.

cheers for the replies, I took your advise and just orderd a Fiskars X17 which is 60cm long and 1.6KG at the end so should do me good

funny that, my bahco with a similar size handle broke too, with very little use - maybe a dodgy batch.
