Fiskars X11 splitting axe

The X11 is a short and relatively light splitting axe. The keil-shaped forged axe head pushes the wood apart and helps to split small logs or firewood quickly and effectively. Its reduced weight makes it one-handed if necessary.

Fiskars

An axe traditionally has a wooden handle. Fiskars has decided that even an old type of tool like an axe can be improved. The fiberglass-reinforced plastic FiberComp handle of a Fiskars axe is stronger than a wooden handle. Tests show that where a wooden handle breaks the FiberComp handle cuts through without a problem. The axe head is integrated into the handle and therefore will not detach from the handle either. The handle absorbs vibrations and increases grip and comfort while chopping. Fiskars is so convinced of the quality of this concept that it has provided the axes with a lifetime warranty.

The axe head has a smooth coating that makes it easier to get the axe out of wood. This coating is very durable. The price of these axes is relatively low, the longevity and quality can compete with much more expensive competitors.

Each axe comes with an innovative plastic protective cover that is quick to attach, impervious to moisture and can be used to carry or hang the axe.
