>>257730>Loads of complains about the handle breakingWhere exactly?
People keep mentioning "complaints" about Fiskars axes, when there are actually very, very few.
Sure, you can find pictures of broken Fiskars axes on the internet, precisely three, I posted one, only two left now, but one was purposedly broken to test the handle resistance, and the other is reportedly a counterfeited Fiskars axe, which I initially doubted, but I recently found in a nearby store axes perfectly identical to Fiskars but from a Chinese brand, supporting this theory.
Those that do use Fiskars axes are pleasantly surprised by this axe which, despite looking like a toy, is perfectly comparable to Wetterlings and Gransfors Bruks axes. They have no problem with the handle which they find very sturdy, actually much more than wood, albeit a bit slippery at times, which can be solved by wrapping some tape, or performing a couple cuts on it to improve the grip.
No axe is truly superior, they all have their own advantages, but when it comes to going /out/, the great performances, low price and incredibly low weight of Fiskars axes makes it a no brainer.
I almost feel like owners of Gransfors Bruks/Wetterlings axes try to rationalize having spent so much money on an axe by talking shit of a cheaper axe they've never really used. Well, I myself openly regret having bought a Gransfors Bruks axe, thinking it'd be so good, when a Fiskars axe would have been enough. It's still a great axe, but considering the price, it's almost a waste of money.
