Amazon.com Product Description
The Fiskars pro chopping axe features a high quality drop-forged steel blade for maximum durability and sharpness. The blade is also treated with a non-stick coating for smooth cuts and rust resistance. The axe head has been insert-molded into the handle to ensure that the axe head will never get loose. The axe handle is 28-inches long for maximum leverage, and made from a super-strong Nyglass material–a strong, but lightweight nylon/fiberglass composite that provides long-lasting durability. The axe also includes a blade sheath for safe storage and easy transportation and includes a limited lifetime warranty.

I have no complaints about this ax at all. Got one to clear brush on three acres of woods, but everyone kept wanting to use it instead of me. Had to end up buying two more, plus two Fiskars hatchets. Holds a good edge (certainly better than any other ax I’ve had) and light weight makes it easier to work with for hours at a time.
I compared the Fiskars Pro Chopping Axe with three other axes by using them to chop a fresh balsam fir log 8 inches in diameter. The result was that the Fiskars axe cut the deepest, did not catch or bind, and was the easiest to use because of its light weight and perfect balance. I was even surprised that I was able to chop more accurately and with less effort than with the 3.5 pound axe which I have used in trailwork for 20 years.
After this initial test, I felt enough confidence in the Fiskars axe to take it on a real trailwork project. I felled and removed 24 trees from the trail, using just this axe and a Fiskars 30 inch bow saw. The trees ranged in size from 4 to 15 inches in diameter, as measured just above the root swell, and consisted of a mixture of both softwoods and hardwoods. In all cases, the axe cut deeply and cleanly. It was equally superb for felling, bucking and limbing.
The only drawback to the Fiskars Axe is that the cutting edge is so thin that it can be dented in exceptionally hard wood. When this happened to me on one occassion, I effectively removed the dent by resharpening the axe in the field with a Diamond Sharpening Card, which is very portable and easy to use. Although I once owned eight axes of various kinds, I now own only four: two Fiskars Pro Chopping Axes and two Snow and Neally Our Best Axes. I do almost all of my chopping with the Fiskars axes, but I keep the Snow and Neally axes on hand for back up because they never dent.
This is a mean freekin axe. Doesn’t vibrate your hands when you come up a lil short and smack the log with the handle. Your not breaking this axe!! I just got done smashing the back of it with a sledge and she shows no signs of wear. No more hickory handles or fake fiberglass, this is the real deal right here. Get the sharpener while your at it.
This is a super sharp axe that is perfect for limbing logs and removing bark. It is lightweight, ergonomic and is nearly indestructable. I highly recommend this great axe at a great price.
I have purchased fiskars axes before and absolutely love them, they do nick up pretty easily but the cutting ability of these axes is so awesome it’s a small price to pay, buy the sharpener and prepare to be amazed a how easily this ax slices though everything in it’s path
