You'll feel the perfected physics and advanced ergonomics of Fiskars Xseries axes with every single swing. The X28 splitting axe works with your body, masterfully balanced to optimize swing speed and amplify your power, for more one strike splits. The ultra sharp, forged steel blade is engineered to disperse wood more effectively and double hardened to maintain it’s sharp precision ground edge. Low friction coating helps the blade glide through wood after impact and offers added rust protection. An over molded axe head provides an inseparable connection to the shaft. X series axes' virtually unbreakable design includes a lightweight, remarkably strong, FiberComp handle that absorbs shock and offers superior overstrike protection. The handle also has an oversized grip zone of strategically textured SoftGrip and a hooked end for a confident, secure hold before, during and after your swing.
