Summary: Great Axe
Comment: This axe is weighted well,retains a sharp edge,and doesn't get stuck in the wood easily. A word of caution.(Don't miss the log)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great axe - powerful, lightweight and well balanced
Comment: Nicely balanced, lightweight and far more powerful than I'd have guessed from its weight; the Fiskars super splitting axe is great. One thing keeps it from being perfect - it doesn't come with a teenager to split and stack all day....

Summary: Great, but only if you're not tall
Comment: This and the companion chopping axe are great tools. The splitting effort with this is much less than with a convetional splitting maul. Quality and workmanship are excellent.
Two issues:
1) The handle is short. If you're over 5'4", this is a one-handed toy. If you're 5'4" or less, this is perfect (unless you want an excuse not to split wood). My wife absolutely loves it. Did I mention that the handle is short?
2) The nonstick surface treatment makes it unsuited for close work - making kindling out of a single log by hitting the log and axe together on the floor. When you do this, the log often slides off the head and jumps inwards, hitting the hand holding the axe handle. Hard to describe, but this is not the tool for making kindling.
In summary - very nice tool for general purpose splitting for less vertically enhanced folks. Too light for really large and knotty logs, but lots less effort for the bulk of the wood. Despite the short handle, doesn't make a good hatchet for tall people.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: Fiskars Super Splitting Axe with 28-Inch Handle and 4-1/4# Head #7854 - The handle is too short. You lose a serious amount of mechanical advantage by having only a 28" handle. Because of this, my old dull ax could perform as well if not better. Also the head can be sharpened as a knife. But if you use it often you will run out of space for sharpening. After using it I think it was designed for occasional recreational splitting. I do not recommend it if you plan to do much splitting.

Summary: 4ShortiesOnly
Comment: Fiskar's short handles are annoying at best and a buddy with their chopping axe nicked his boot twice already due to its short length. My old splitter and axe handles are a full 8 inches longer than fiskars and are more appropriate for normal sized people. If you're 5 feet tall or less then enjoy a very good cutting tool. Other people think twice.
I ground down the splitting flare on mine and keep it in my pickup for chopping big logs that fall across the jeep trails. Works nice for that purpose.

Editorial Reviews:

The Fiskars super splitting axe splits large and thick blocks of wood with ease. The high-quality carbon steel blade has a PTFE coating, which reduces friction and helps facilitate the removal of the blade from wood. The 4-1/2-pound axe is smartly designed and easy to use. The 28-inch handle consists of a sturdy glass fiber-reinforced polyamide and is molded around the head to prevent loosening and separation. This ax is much lighter than ones with wooden handles and less likely to break at the neck. You can use the face of the ax as a sledge with Fiskars's splitting wedge for large blocks of wood. The ax comes complete with a plastic sheath for carrying and safe storage and includes a lifetime warranty.
