>>127841Fiskars axes are great, but you should know there's quite a high failure rate. Many people have had the handle break or the head come lose, but it got better lately apparently, judging by the overall more positive feedback and less complaints. If your model is defective, you'll realize it quite fast though, it usually breaks during the first few days of use.
In case it breaks, there's a lifetime guarantee and free replacement of the handle. Which is great seeing as it is near impossible to rehandle, because the axe head has no eye.
So once you've got yourself a fine one, well, I have to admit, it's a great axe. I was surprised myself, thinking it would just break, but mine never broke, and it's been 4 years now.
Also, some interesting trivia about Fiskars axes: their name refers to their weight rounded up. The X5 weights about 0.5kg, the X7 weights about 0.7kg, the X11 weights about 1.1kg, and so on.
