I have numerous trees on my property and I bought this for tree trimming and to make wood chips for my grill. It works great for both. It is very well balanced. The 17" length extends your reach and makes for a powerful impact without swinging it hard. The blade is holding a good edge. I'm thinking of getting one for my son who does a lot of camping.

I bought this hatchet about a week ago, and it rocks!!! First off the axe head is made of Carbon steel (which is the strongest and hardest of all steels) plus it already comes exceptionally sharp (although I plan to buy the Fiskars Axe & Knife Sharpener to make it even sharper). For anyone who absolutely loves axes & hatchets, this is a MUST!

If one really wants to put a razor sharp edge on an axe or knife, a set of diamond whetstones is the best way to do it. This painstaking manual process requires time and proper technique. Beware: a razor sharp edge is exactly that and not to be trifled with. On the other hand, if "pretty darn sharp" is good enough...and it should be for most utility purposes...a dedicated sharpening tool like the Fiskars will get the job done quickly and with minimum risk to one's fingers.

My brother in law has always like Estwing hammers and i saw an article in the magazine talking about how rugged the Ax was. I thought I would give it a shot. It worked beautifully for what i needed an ax big enough to cut down trees up to 12 inches in diameter but small and light enough to easily take camping or anywhere. Its a great product and American made (minus the sheath).

I have been pleased with every Fiskars item that I have previously purchased. This ax is no exception. I ordered it last Tuesday and it showed up three days later (in a huge box). I used it today to take out a tree stump. It easily cut through some pretty thick, buried roots. It's very light and easy to swing, with the weight concentrated at the head.

I bought this axe for my husband for Christmas. He has split many a log over the years and this is by far the best axe he has ever used. He said it split the logs like a knife through butter! He also said it was extremely light weight and comfortable to use.
