Fiskars small axe?
- Thread starter Jonbodthethird
- Start date
What model are you interested in? The X7 is comparable to the GB wildlife hatchet with a headweight of 470 grams and an overall weight of 640 grams. The x15 is comparable to the SFA with a headweight of 1050 grams and an overall weight of 1520 grams. The x10 is betweem them being 760 grams in the head and 980 overall.
I have the X5. It was bought for me, and I was unsure about it because it wasn't traditional, but now it is my standard pack axe. I love it. Packs small, punches above its weight, sharp enough that I can featherstick with it, and great for splitting small bits of wood for using in my Bushbuddy stove. I use it way more than I use a knife.
I can't recommend it enough.

Here ya go, hope this helps.

I've had an X5, it was a cracking little axe.
(oooops .. . . . to slow . . . lol . . . must type faster and without interruptions)

I have a splitter from Fiskars and it's the first splitting axe that hasn't been wrecked by someone that borrowed it.
I can find little fault in the tools unless you prefer something more traditional.

Just bought the x25 over the weekend, a real Ferrari of a tool, I still prefer my x10 over my hultafors too.

The only negative I have about the Fiskars is that it has been a bit slippy when wet due to the plastic handle, and I've had it fly out of my hand once in use in heavy rain, but that was also because I was rushing, so was mostly my fault. A bit of grip tape soon solves that anyway.
I have a Fiskars x27 sllitting axe. Its an outstanding piece of kit, well designed and extremely robust.
I have a Fiskars retractable saw too, a bold claim but I think its better (albeit slightly) than my Bahco laplander. Cheaper too.
As for the small axe, I have no experience but I bet its a winner going by the quality of their other stuff.

Wouldn't the wooden handle be just as bad if it was varnished? Is the gb varnished?

I have an X5 and love it. Got it from ebay I think, maybe about £20.

The x5 was the one I was ideally looking at. Does anyone the cheapest place to buy it?

My dad bought mine as an unexpected gift, from Clas Ohlsen. He said it cost about £33. I imagine you can get it cheaper.
We will want to know what you think of it when you get it. And probably where you got it, and for how much. Pictures too.
