• Well-Balanced Design: The balance of this axe is remarkable. It’s not too heavy, making it manageable for someone who’s not used to handling such tools. This balance helps in making each swing feel more natural and less tiring, which is really important when you’re just starting out.
• Ease of Use: This axe fits comfortably in the hands, and the grip is secure. I was worried about the axe slipping or being unwieldy, but those fears were unfounded. It’s user-friendly, even for a complete novice like me. Keep in mind I always wear glove when working outside.
• Durability: I’ve been using this axe for a season now, and it’s still as sharp as when I first got it. This durability is a big plus because it means I don’t have to worry about constant maintenance or sharpening, allowing me to focus more on learning the proper techniques.
• Effective on Various Woods: Whether I’ve tackled softwood or hardwood, this axe has performed consistently well. It’s been a great confidence booster to see how effectively it splits different types of wood.
Overall, for any beginners out there looking for their first splitting axe, I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s made my initial foray into wood splitting much less daunting and far more enjoyable.
This review focuses on the aspects that are most relevant and reassuring for someone new to wood splitting, emphasizing the ease of use, balance, and durability of the axe.

When I got my Fiskars splitting axe, I turned into Paul Bunyan. Not only was almost every split a single stroke, but I did have to widen my "hazard area", as the splits tended to fly to the right and left a good few feet. I can now cut my firewood smaller which saves a lot of money by building exactly the size fire I need. I can cut more kindling using the kindling cracker because it's a simple task to cut the logs small enough to fit inside it's ring; this saves firestarter as I have a lot more starter pieces. It also lets me run very small fires through the night, once i get a bed of coals; i can throw a 2"x2" or 2"x3" piece on to keep giving me light and flame. I also feel this is safer as a non-clean strike can bounce out or sideways.
In summary, 1) this saves a lot of energy, each time I avoid the very hard work of freeing an axe from a partially split log is probably equal to the work of splitting 2 or 3 more logs with this axe. 2) this saves a lot of energy, as it feels like the Axe does the work, not me...the tool is well balanced with a pretty fast head and good leverage to split the log, 3) this saves money allowing me to size my fires exactly the way i want, 4) this saves money in firestarter, my favorite is a couple pieces of fatwood, which is all i need with the kindling i can create 5) I personally feel it's safer 6) it's good for my ego; I'm a 64 yr old 5'10" guy and this is VERY easy for me to use effectively; when a pair of splits fly to each side of the camp site, it's a good feeling.
Note: when i go to the lumberyard, it's a "load your own", so i always pay for my rick and give them a couple of bucks for one "round" to use as a chopping block. When i first used this axe at the campsite, I was able to split the round and burn it rather than leave it.
I was able to split 20" rounds of wet maple with ease. Anything larger than 14" needed at least 2 whacks to make the initial split, but two to four shots in the same area usually did the trick. Larger than 20" still requires a sledge and wedge for the initial split.
After an hour of splitting with the Fiskars, I switched back to my old 8 pound maul for a few whacks. I noticed right away that although it weighed almost twice as much (and my back and hands noticed that immediately), the larger maul split no better. I'm never using the pointy end of my maul again (i use the blunt side for wedges).
For reference, I split wood with the 8 pound maul 2 weekends ago. I split about 10 rounds before tiring (I'm not in great shape). Using the Fiskars, I split 25+ rounds before tiring.
If you're splitting on hardscape or rocks, I would recommend either setting up on another round, or figuring out another way to keep the axe from hitting the ground when you don't expect it. Otherwise it will, an you'll lose your factory edge.
I split multiple rounds together, which means that often on smaller splits, the Fiskars would go quickly through the small piece, and the handle would bash on some other piece of wood. The light weight of the Fiskars meant that the shock of stopping the blade with the handle was minimal, and even after 40 or 50 such strikes, there was no noticeable damage to the handle. I'll keep an eye on it, but so far so good.
Advantages:
Light weight, but splits as well as a heavier maul.
Tough handle stands up well to damage (so far)
Very well designed product.
Very sharp
Disadvantages:
Short handle - I noticed it, but after a few whacks it didn't bother me (I'm 6'-1). Bend your knees, spread your legs, and keep your hands low to ensure that the axe head is moving downward at impact, rather than angling towards your legs.
Gripping wood - when splitting medium sized rounds, i would occasionally strike hard enough to get the axe head stuck, but not tough enough to split the wood. Generally wigglin the end of the handle would un stick it, but occasionally i had to put a foot on the round to get the head out. This never happens with a splitting maul, but the trade off is worth it IMO.
It's not so powerful that it replaces the sledge & wedge - Larger than 20" rounds may still require some good old fashioned sledgehammering (depending on species & condition).
