My new splitter, a Fiskars x27, arrived today, ready to clear the woodpile ready for the next load of logs!. A couple of things for all you axe wielding types!
It's far more blunt than I thought it would be. I know the geometry etc. was supposed to 'blast' the wood apart, but it's not even paper cut sharp? Is it supposed to be like that.
Took a couple of 'swing's with it. It got stuck immediately (Small 6" piece of knotty ash, nothing huge) , and when I finally prised it out the grey coating was already lined. This will be a 'user not a display piece but again, is that normal?
Can i sharpen the thing using my fallkniven dc4? or do I have to buy a puck shaped sharpener?
Ta! Hopefully this will make life easier than using the maul, or at least faster!
