Product Details

Ideal for taller users or anyone who prefers a longer axe, the Fiskars X27 Splitting Axe provides power that makes splitting medium-sized to extra-large logs easier than ever. Like every X-Series hatchet or axe, the X27 combines balanced weight distribution, advanced blade geometry, an ultra-sharp edge and virtually unbreakable design to maximize performance. This combination of features allows the blade to disperse wood more effectively, offering more one-strike splits with each swing. It also includes our longest handle for increased leverage to maximize the power and speed of taller users. Since you can split wood more easily with the X27, each job requires less time, less effort and less hand strain. A lifetime warranty underscores its durability.

  • Designed for maximum efficiency to give you more 1-strike splits
  • Perfected balance and power-to-weight ratio increases swing speed to multiply power, much like an aluminum baseball bat
  • Ultra-sharp blade with a low-friction coating and bevel convex blade geometry disperses wood from the blade for clean splits

A:  The dimensions are the only differences. These are super splitting axes, so they are meant for splitting wood. They are more ideal for taller users.

          A:  I hate to admit that I have missed a few blows in the time I have had this ax and not only does the handle take it but the shock in minimal compared to the old wooden handles. For splitting, the ax is faster and lighter. I can work much longer and stronger than with the old conventional splitters. I have also used this to fell a few trees and it is great. This has been a very good investment for me and I recommend it for anyone who burns wood for heat especially. I even bought one for my son for Christmas last year.

            Q:can you use this to cut down trees?

            Answer This Question

            A:  It's a Splitting Axe. It is made for splitting wood not chopping. The axe head is wider then a cutting axe so it can wedge or split the smaller sections of a log.

              A:  Yes, this axe is the best, cuts wood like butter.

                A:  Yes you could, but this is a splitting axe, not a felling axe.  

                by|Nov 26, 2022

                  A:  Absolutely. Depending on the size of the tree, it may require a lot of work and sweat. Sometimes it is easier to use a bow saw to cut down the tree.

                    A:  You sure could use it but not sure why when there are chainsaws. This however is not ideal for chopping. You want to buy a chopping axe for that purpose.

                        My go to for small amounts of wood
                        I will preface this by saying that my first Fiskars was recalled and mine is supposedly an updated/stronger handle. I never had an issue with the first splitting axe but Fiskars proactively replaced it. That said, this splitter works with much less force than my old wood handled splitter and it transmits less vibration to my hands. When I have a lot to split I do break out the electric splitter, but this is perfect for when I'm just processing a small amount at a time.

                          Terrible Quality; So Dangerous!
                          The axe handle shattered and sent the weighted blade flying into my boyfriend’s face the first time it was taken out for use in the backyard. He was chopping wood… an axe shouldn’t break into pieces while being used as intended!

                            Didn’t last a week. Used it 3 times on an Ash tree which isn’t too dense. The head popped off and flew nearly 30’. Almost hit my brother in law. When it was working it was pretty awesome.

                              I am a novice to splitting with an axe, was spoiled with a gas splitter all my life. Splits well, no shock or vibration, nice and sharp, feels super light and the handle is smooth and ergonomic. Feels good in the hand. 10/10

                                Great tool for the job
                                Sturdy handle and easy to control. Once I figured out the best technique to get a full swing on target, it would slice through logs 8"-10" across and 12"-14" long in a single hit. I am 5'10" and 220 lbs and could get plenty of swings in before my form would decline. The back of the head works great for driving wedges into larger logs. The handle is very sturdy. I have missed a log or two long and the handle just below the head would take the full force with no issues.

                                Those who split a lot of wood will love this.
                                This axe is a production splitter. I've split over 50 cords with the one I have now, my second X27 since they came out. (First one was stolen). Stand upright and swing 70 percent and the wood BLOWS APART. I have split pine, for, oak, maple, madrone, hemlock, redwood, spruce, you name it, with this axe and it is still in perfect shape. Handle ergonomics are great, steel quality is great. Perfect splitter. If you have 10 rounds to split, get one of those wood grenade things. If you have a stack of wood and love your back, get this axe.

                                  Kinda shocking how effective this was to chop through oak as it did. I had multiple stumps that were roughly 22”Wx18”H and wet… one solid swing and it split them down the center. Super accurate and seriously sharp. Would highly recommend!

                                    My neighbor had a 60-foot pine tree removed. I got some pieces of the trunk. If it can split this stuff oh, that pretty much says it all!
