I split nearly 5 cords of wood with an x27 (36in) splitting axe. A few comments about it:
- Nice and
light, kept good swing speed.
- The blade was very sharp but easily dulled. I had to sharpen it a lot in the beginning as the blade was thin and the metal seemed fragile. But over time as I reprofiled it to be a bit less razor sharp it worked.
- I broke the head of this axe on some nasty wood that was difficult to split. But Fiskars gave me a brand new one, they stand by their products.
This was in the middle of splitting season, you can't see the rest of the stacks behind the trees (I only split 5 cords with an axe, then switched to a splitter, phew!)
