I picked up the new x32 tonight and went out to give it a go. It splits like a dream. I was skeptical about it being that much better than my old blockbuster, but it really is a great axe.
I have an old black x28 slpitting axe and just bought the x7. My X28 has surprised me time and time again, by far the best non wood tool I have used and outlasted a few of my wooden axes. Hopefully these will come to the USA
What's been happening so far? I've owned and absolutely abused, pressure tested, sent in to wood with no restraint for years now, 8, 10, 12+ years & own from the small camping hatchet up to the largest log splitter Iso Core maul, the heavy axe not featured here I have never had a single problem with any of them I have split year after year of firewood for my home
Maybe it's just because of the angle but to me the new blade looks just as high as the old one. Seems like Fiskars saved some material on the lower edge. Maybe the wedge shape became wider but at the same time the new head is shorter. I don't believe they made it all for comfort, usability and safety.
Интересно, сталь новая? Или только форму переделали. До этого сталь была очень мягкая! После работы лезвие все как стиральная доска. Если тут лучше то хорошо.
Is the X36 the direct replacement for the X27? I went to buy an X27 today but there were none in stock, just the X36. I ended up buying one, but want to confirm it’s the new replacement for the X27 before I use it.
Hello, I was planning to buy 2 axes. I will only use it for camping and picnics. In my mind it was x11 and the other one was a big ax for my arm length. Which ax from the new series would you recommend to me instead of x11? My second question is, do I need models such as x5, x10 and x7? Do you think 2 axes, one big and the other x11, and 2 size camping knives plus a saw would be enough?
Dear Hakan, The Fiskars X11 is a great allround axe and can split store bought firewood and 20 cm trunks with ease. If you're looking for the newer version I would recommend the X18, which has the same handle length as the X11. If you pair this with one knife for making smaller firewood and feathersticks and a saw to cut pieces to length I think you're set for a lot of cosy fires!
X11 is/was a splitting axe. In fact, X18 replaces X10 which are both allrounder axes but will be just fine for camping. Next smallest splitting axe in the Fiskars line is X24 with S blade but, of course, it has a longer handle. Honestly, if you're already planning to buy a big axe, too (like X25/X32?), I assume a smaller axe like X7/X14 would be sufficient.
If you're looking at Fiskars US/UK site, that would be why. They're not currently (and possibly won't be for quite some time) available from Fiskars US or UK. For what it's worth, Fiskars Finnish site has had them listed for over a year. They're great axes, the little changes add up to a significant improvement.
This channel sells them online but only makes available to UK. Seen other sites for Australia and one has language I couldn't even recognize. So guess if your American your last, they gonna purge rest of old stuff on us a while till maybe we're one day privileged to by like other places are now.

We do ship to the USA but given the weight shipping costs might be pretty rough.
Same axes with minor artificial design changes.
We want better heat treatment.
We want an improved connection between the axe head and handle.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Leuk dit soort filmpjes van Kato!
Fijn om te horen!

How come pretty much nobody else has videos on these axes and they are not on fiskars website
Well, we're excited! :D What are your thoughts on these new axes?
They must be really new, only heard of them myself today.
They *are* listed on Fiskars Finnish website, and have been since last Summer.

Are they still manufactured in Finland? The website mentions they're "Designed in Finland" which tends to suggest they're made in china - hope not...

@@GoMantaGo Thank you
I own an X18 (and several X10's) and can confirm it's what you're looking for. Probably my favorite backpacking axe at the moment.
I see that the circle on the head's side is the identifying element.
Still prefer the x27 over the new x36.
The increased angle is not an advantage to me, in bought the x27 because of the low angle.
Will they ever release to the US?
We do ship to the USA but given the weight shipping costs might be pretty rough.
This is an incredibly courageous step in terms of design.
You like it? :)
Can only be meant ironically.
Undoubtedly those are great tools again but hey, they are still black and orange.
@@GoMantaGo No, that was absolutely serious. The balance of the axes has been significantly changed by the new design.
@@knivesandtools yap, i like it a lot
@@GoMantaGo we still just buy it of course because if the colourse they chose
I wonder why I can't locate the X32 on the actual Fiskars website 🤔.
