Description

The all-purpose design of the X15 Chopping Axe makes felling trees quick and easy. Like every X-Series Hatchet or Axe, the X15 combines perfected weight distribution, advanced blade geometry, an ultra- sharp edge and virtually unbreakable design to maximize your performance. This combination of features allows the blade to bite deeper when chopping. With more blade penetration on each swing, you can chop more wood in less time, with less effort and hand strain. Easier to swing, lets you land the head exactly where you want it. Plus, the hardened steel blade starts out sharp, stubbornly holds its edge, and chews quickly through flinty heartwood with help from the friction-reducing non-stick coating. Better still, Fiskars cures the dangerous problem of loosening axe heads with an insert-molded design locks the blade in place so it won't ever unhitch itself from the durable, weatherproof handle. Includes a sturdy sheath for safe storage and transportation. And the Fiskars lifetime warranty of performance excellence. From the Manufacturer An unwieldy, oversized axe tends to make its user a little nervous - nothing like the thought of an emergency room visit to suck the fun out of felling and limbing trees, eh? That's why Fiskars has designed this chopping axe (Fiskars Chopping Axe 23.5-Inch 7857) with a shorter, more controllable 23-1/2-inch handle. Easier to swing, lets you land the head exactly where you want it. Plus, the hardened steel blade starts out sharp, stubbornly holds its edge, and chews quickly through flinty heartwood with help from the friction-reducing non-stick coating. Better still, Fiskars cures the dangerous problem of loosening axe heads with an insert-molded design locks the blade in place so it won't ever unhitch itself from the durable, weatherproof handle. Includes a sturdy sheath for safe storage and transportation. And the Fiskars lifetime warranty of performance excellence.

  • Compared to Estwing Camp Axe...
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
I use this axe a lot-- sometimes daily-- to chop down snags and clear dead branches. It's the third Fiskars axe I've bought, and it's the one I use most often. The edge is built for chopping, but it's a little too fine for some hard dry limbs. Anything above an inch in diameter runs the risk of folding the edge if you're aim isn't sure. I figured this out after my nephew used a the Fiskars hatchet. If you're looking for a limbing axe, the Estwing's a better bet. Half the time, I use this more as a hatchet, sometimes even as crude knife, by choking up on the handle. The blade can become razor sharp with ease. The Estwing's edge, on the other hand: merely-sharp. Adding some foam and athletic tape to the tubular part of the Estwing's handle has given me hatchet-like versatility, but nothing like what comes from the Fiskar's handle naturally. You'll never use the Estwing as a knife. I've also used this and the Estwing to hew small beams. The Estwing is actually an excellent shape for making glancing, chipping blows, especially with an extended handle. The Fiskars, on the other hand, will never allow a chipping strike. Instead, it will bite into the grain of the wood. Frankly, while it's more labor, the result can look better with practice, but it's only practical on small beams. I don't recommend the Fiskars for hewing, except in a pinch in which case, have at it. Finally, let me tell you about how these axes swing. The Fiskars can be sharp, and places so much weight in the head (the balance point is only an inch along the handle), that you can use it as a spot machete with far less than a full-speed swing. With the Fiskars you can cut a small green limb, as long as you go diagonal to the grain, with between half and 2/3rds the speed you'd bring to solid mass of wood. The Estwing, on the other hand, has a light head and a heavy handle that requires a faster swing to do the same thing. It's a completely differently philosophy, but not inferior. The Fiskars is kind of amazing in this respect. The Estwing, merely average. They're almost identical in weight, though I believe the Fiskars is slightly lighter. The Estwing's handle is marginally longer, but the Fiskars is plenty-long-enough for sideways work, especially in among the branches of a living forest. If you're going to split firewood, or chop trees on the ground as your main task, the Fiskars is a far better choice than the Estwing, but unless you're camping, you'll be better off with a much longer handle. Different axes with slightly different capabilities. To summarize, the Fiskars will devour its way through wood, will split nicely, and can be used at many different speeds from many different hand positions. The Estwing will do most of that and will handle the hardest limbs with ease and excels at extremely oblique strikes. One last thing I could mention. The Estwing can be destroyed-- though it might take years of additional strain-- by an overstrike that dents the tubular handle. The Fiskars, on the other hand, will probably never have that problem. I love them both, but like this one more. ... show more

  • Great axe!
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
Tons of people are using these now over traditional axes and they seem to measure up really well. To start, because of the hollow handle an axe of the same size can concentrate more weight in the head. I found that I got used to this balance very quickly. The grip is great and it feels solid in the hands. I was deciding between this axe and the similar X7 hatchet and I'm glad I got this axe. With the heavier head and longer handle I can really tackle larger logs and even split pretty well. The axe didn't come super sharp but usable. I sharpened it up to razor sharp before my first use and found that it held that edge through about 45 minutes of constant chopping and splitting. I do kinda hate the case it comes with so that's the only thing I'd change. It's fine for storage in the garage or back of your truck, but it doesn't really carry well. A nice leather sheath or a kydex one would be a big improvement. I think there is something to the non-stick coating they claim give such good penetration on each chop. I found that it didn't stick in the wood except when I was splitting difficult logs and even then wasn't as hard to get out as some axes I've used. The steel of the blade is proprietary but I will say that it's not the hardest steel out there. I think it's very suitable for an axe blade though. When you hit a hard knot or dirt or whatever, it will roll rather than chip so it's not as catastrophic to the blade. However as I mentioned it took a very sharp edge and held it through a lot of chopping so I think that's all I can ask for. It comes with a lifetime warranty and from what I've heard they're impossible to break so I think that's pretty darn good for $28. I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Sharp and good for choppin' stuff
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
I recently had a cherry tree cut down and the roots are sending up shoots. I'm whacking away at the roots and the shoots with this. It's a perfect size and not quite a full ax but much better than a hatchet. I'm glad I went with this larger size.

  • Well done
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
I work at a wooded venue, and keep this axe, among other tools, in my truck for unexpected tasks. This morning, I limbed 4 fallen trees with it. For noise and other reasons, chainsaws weren't an option today. I was slicing through up to 3" branches in a single clean swing, and quickly cutting through larger. Granted, I have some experience, but this axe was sharp, lightweight, and up to the task. The smaller fiskars hatchet has been among my favorite camping gear for years, but this piece seriously impressed me today. Make sure your legs and feet are clear of your blade arcs- this tool might cut quicker than expected. ... show more

  • You will be sharp as an axe for owning one of these
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
This axe is worth the hype. I have been using this to clear trees in my backyard and chop logs. It is very sharp and cuts through wood efficiently. The shock absorbing handle is also comfortable to use for long periods of time. I would definitely buy one again if needed.

  • Good size for urban household
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
I live in an urban area, but I definitely have a few trees that drop stuff in my yard. This smaller axe has been wonderful. I made the mistake of hitting a log on the ground that put a chip in it, but regardless of the chipped blade, most of the time, splitting 12-24" logs only takes a swing or two. I just need to keep this guy sharp now! It is lightweight, so i don't get tired easily from lifting. I don't really need to split giant logs, so having a heavier axe is useless. Very happy with it. ... show more

  • Small axe, large hatchet
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
First off, I want to start on the size of this tool. It is called an 'axe' but I consider it to be sized right at the borderline between axe and hatchet, if you define an axe as a two handed tool, designed for chopping trees, and a hatchet as a one-handed tool, best for cutting smaller branches, splitting kindling, etc. It is just long enough, to get a good 2 handed swing, for felling trees, yet is just light enough, for the average person to also be able to use it one handed. Probably a good choice for someone who only wants to carry one tool to do most jobs. Personally, I use a chain saw to fell trees and cut off large branches, and a hatchet to cut off the smaller branches (I feel it is safer than risking kickback from the nose hitting an unseen branch). I also like to have an axe around, in case I pinch the bar of the saw in a tree, and need to chop it loose. For my uses, it is perfect. It is a little longer and heavier than most hatchets, making branch removal easier (I can use one hand on smaller ones, or two hands on bigger ones, and get a pretty big branch off with one chop). While it will not outperform a full sized axe for tree felling, it works well enough for the rare occasions I need it to get the saw bar loose. The bevel of the edge, is unique, as well as the finish on the head. The edge has a sharper bevel than I'm used, to, and the finish is very slick. However, in use, it seems to cut well, and is very resistant to sticking in the branch or tree you are cutting, which is my gripe about most hatchets. Most hatchets have a thin bevel to the edge, so they can cut a larger branch in one chop, but tend to stick in the trunk if used to fell a tree. The combination of sharp edge, unique bevel, and slick finish, works very well to allow this to slice as large a branch in one chop as any hatchet I have used, while still not wedging itself stuck when chopping a larger tree trunk. It also comes with a cover for the head, to protect the edge (and you) and doubles as a carry handle. I would have given it 5 stars instead of 4, but at the bottom of the handle, there was a very sharp edge at the seam, from the way it was molded. It doesn't weaken the handle, but it was large enough, and sharp enough it was borderline painful to use, until I filed it smooth with a chain saw file. Maybe it was just mine, that slipped through quality control, but 30 seconds with sandpaper at the factory on that sharp seam, and I would have given it 5 stars. If you get one, check the end of the handle, to be sure it will not be uncomfortable to use. ... show more

  • Fantastic tool!
Style: 24" Chopping Axe
I put a lot of time researching this ax before finally making the purchase. After watching countless videos and reading many reviews, I couldn't help but think that this tool was going to be extraordinary. I was not at all disappointed. First off all, if you visit Fiskars website about this product [...], you will see that the use and purpose of this tool is not for splitting wood, but for felling trees. I have only felled trees with axes greater than 27 inches in length in the past, so I was fairly skeptical about using such a short felling ax. My skepticism was tamed when I took it up to my property in Idaho one weekend to clear some land of live and dead trees that needed to be chopped down. It didn't take much effort to swing this small ax, but I was very surprised to see how deep this cut with minimal effort. I didn't get worn out so quickly like I do when swinging a longer ax. I found that my endurance lasted much longer with this short handle than with a longer one. On top of being able to last longer and cut with such a sharp blade, my wife, who is 5' 2", was able to use this thing very well! It is a great product that both her and I are able to use and not compromise the ability to fell trees quickly. The blade on this maintained its edge very well, and it was not hard to keep sharp. I sharpened it regularly to keep its edge, but looking back, I didn't really need to. Another feature of which I was skeptical is the hollow handle. I thought that there would be a lot of vibration in the fiberglass handle while chopping, but it was just the opposite. there was no vibration, and the smooth handle had plenty of grip- even in sweaty hands-, but didn't give me blisters. This is a tool well worthy of five starts! I highly recommend this product from the most experienced to the least experienced. ... show more
