FiskarsSplitting Axe M X17, Includes blade and transport protection, Length: 60 cm, Non-stick coating, High Steel blade/Fibreglass reinforced Synthetic material handle, Black/Orange, 1.53 kg, 1015641

I got this to split logs for my wood burner, it’s nice and light but the weight in the head is still such that it can easily split logs - I’ve used it on logs up to about 10” in diameter. The size an weight means that I still have the ability to control the axe to safely split wood down to kindling size - highly recommended.

Although I have returned it, I want to point out that this Fiskars X17 is an excellent axe. - I returned it only because I decided that I needed a longer Fiskars axe for the particular job I had in mind (which I have in the meantime purchased). It is worth noting that the X17 axe are stated to be suitable for medium-sized logs (20-30cm diameter), while the longer X25 and X27 axes are suitable for larger logs (of over 30cm diameter), which my new X27 splits comfortably with one blow.

Could do with being a little heavier ,so my plan is to fill the shaft a little 👍🏻

Love this little splitting axe. A very good buy.

Perfect to chopping bags of logs into smaller pieces.Not the first axe I’ve owned but the quality of the blade appears much superior.Great lite axe.

Excellent quality product. Chops my Ash and Oak logs no problem, though It depends on how much effort you put in to the swing of course. With myself it normally takes two goes to completely split the log.

I have a maul and a little axe this was the perfect addition. Light in weight. I can swing all day and not get tired. You can get a really fast and accurate swing. Very efficient. I love it .

Now my go to splitting maul. Light enough to wield handily and sturdy enough to split logs with one blow. Not cheap but very well made.
