Product Description

This superbly designed, compact axe defies the concept of ¿size matters¿. Fact is, a smaller axe has its place in the world. Canoe trips into the Northwest Territories when space is tight. Trail clearing when you want to travel fast and light. And in the hands of smaller-framed people tired of being bossed around by an overgrown axe. If any of the situations above describe you, this is your axe. Plus, it¿s crafted with all the fine details of its bigger counterparts, including a unique wedge-shaped blade that takes fewer swings to bust through the toughest timber. The FiberComp fiberglass composite handle is many times stronger than traditional wood handles, yet it¿s also light in weight and impervious to weather. Fiskars¿ insert molded design prevents the head from ever loosening or separating from the handle. And a lifetime guarantee means you can trust to really hack it.

Customer Reviews

Perfect mid size axe!
Well balanced and comfortable. This axe does an excellent job splitting smaller to mid sized logs.Edge maintains with a lot of use.Handle seems unbreakable.A quality peice of equipment! Another fiskars winner.

Magnificent Hand Ax
This ax from Fiskars is great - exactly what you expect from such a well-reputed company. For me, it easily meets all of my splitting/chopping needs, coming close to a full-size ax in efficiency, but without the space requirements. The handle is solid and feels indestructible, and the head holds an excellent edge. In my view, the perfect light duty ax.

An Excellent Axe for Smaller People
My Fiskars 7856 17-inch-long Splitting Axe is perfect for my small muscles. The axe head is smaller and lighter in weight than that of the standard axe which allows me to swing it properly and connect with wood instead of my leg! The short handle allows me to pack the axe inside my backpack for trail-clearing yet it's long enough for me to hold it with both hands when I need extra power. The large, orange handle end keeps me from losing it when I lay it down on the forest floor when switching to another tool. The blade is very sharp even after a full day of chopping logs and branches in the woods. As recommended, I am cleaning the blade and sharpening it lightly with the Fiskars Axe and Knife Sharpener after a day's use.
