Speed against weight · review
The axe most buyers choose: 36 inches, a light head and 9,181 ratings at 4.8 out of 5.
Fiskars states a 36 inch handle, a hardened forged steel blade with a bevel convex design, a sheath and a lifetime warranty.
A light head on a long handle moves fast, and speed splits wood.
Split on a chopping block, wear eye protection and boots, keep others well back, and check the head is tight before each session.
