Review on Fiskars 375581-1001 Chopping Axe: 28-Inch Black, Premium Quality by Matthew Mrspeach

I've been chopping with axes and axes since second grade and had about the same experience with all of them until I bought this axe. Compared to all the standard hickory-handled and composite-handled axes I've used (and I've used dozens), this ax could very well be Thor's hammer. keep edge. Period. In comparison, they are all the same. Compared to this ax it's not even the same tool. I cut through a 12 inch green pine log with this ax in 50 seconds and came out in chips the size of a piece of bread. It's very sharp and can be made really razor sharp in minutes with sandpaper or a 600 grit whetstone (shaves easily off your hand). A month later, after many cuts in large logs, it's still sharp. sucks when you're used to big axes, but it's really necessary with this thing. It's stupid sharp and will cut you if you wear it carelessly. deeper" is absolutely true compared to a top-of-the-line Gransfors Bruks or similar and could be ten times as much compared to a large box axe.
