>>128440>Not finding anything reading through that says it's NOT a Fiskars product, just that it's manufactured in China.You should have read more carefully.
This broken axe seems to be missing a label all Fiskars axes seem to have. Which is especially disturbing considering it broke. Last time i heard about that, Fiskars DOESN'T outsource anything to China, and nowhere in this thread does it says this one was outsourced to China.
Since then, there have been many discussions all over the intertubes about this. Every single time, people go check for their axes to see if they have that label. So far, no other similar axe has been found. This thread is from 2009, so yeah, there have been many discussions about this since. Hell, since this happened, everytime I go to a hardware store, I check the Fiskars axes there, and I'll be going in just an hour and you can be sure I'll check again.
Meanwhile, there are hundreds of reports of Fiskars axe having stood strong for years, and very, very little reports of axes being broken.
Sometimes, technology truely is great. This is one of those times. Those axes are much tougher than they seem to be, and you have no reason to be scared of it. They are also much lighter than regular axes, take that into account, because what you could possibly gain in reliability, you'll lose it in wasted efforts.
And even if it breaks, well, I see you never had to rehandle an axe in the bush. It doesn't really take 5 minutes and a small knife to do it. If your axe handle breaks, regardless of whether the head has an eye or not, you're fucked.
