Gotta love Fiskar axes. I have the X7 and that little phucker can chop! No chips or rolled edges after half a day of clearing 4 years worth of overgrown trees. Afterwards I gave it a few lengths of the diamond stone & it was back to a razor (not that it really needed it).
After watching this vid I could see why Canadian prepper prefers the silky saws because with an axe you exert a lot of energy. But he does have the same splitter axe. By the way excellent video!
The link for the sheath doesn't work and the link for the axe links to another larger axe. Apart from yhat, the would probably cost the same as the pitot tube on a F-16 so I'm off. But it would be great with a compact holster for some of these great Fiskars axes - the plastic one sucks.
Please do a review of the Norden series, all 3 of them. I'd like to see if their steel is better and if the N12 can also chop down trees as their website claims despite being a splitting axe. I'm looking for a truly universal axe for my bug out bag, I cannot carry 2 axes due to weight constrain.
Nice video but it is titled F17 SPLITTING axe and your first demonstration is using it for chopping. Is it a wedge shape designed for splitting firewood or a narrow face more for limping/chopping? Confused.
Seems like a good tool for the kid to use. She loves my small forest axe and wants to split, but all I have is a gb large splitting axe. Thinking this smaller tool might help her.
The small forest axe weighs 2 pounds 2.5 ounces and the fiskars x17 is 3 pounds 7.5 ounces. It’s actually not twice as much... it might be manageable for her. Especially if she grows?
these days i car camp and buy bundles of pre-split wood at the store or gas station. for splitting stuff that's already partially broken down and bone dry, the x17 is great.
Back in the days, (seventies) the warranty of Fiskars was forever and held true. You can't break this ax by hand! These were also developing the Nokia 3310. Whoooa. ¤%¤#" Maybe these guys had been in to the moon?

I've had one for years. After a good sharpen it is a very versatile axe.

How do you think the new fiskars norden series compares to this? I like the looks of the n12, but the x17 is tempting.
N series is just an overpriced axe with a wood handle, sure its cool but for the price? Definately not.
Nice Gene, Fiskars makes great tools. I have a lot of axes and hatchets but they are Estwing; awesome axes!!
Yes!

This could work, but keep in mind that this is almost twice as heavy as the small forest axe.

Well I didnt consider that. What do you recommend? Smaller fiskars, or something else.
The small forest axe weighs 2 pounds 2.5 ounces and the fiskars x17 is 3 pounds 7.5 ounces. It’s actually not twice as much... it might be manageable for her. Especially if she grows?
There’s not really a lighter option for a splitter as efficient as this one.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear x11?
Your axe sheaths are Awesome!
Your father makes lovely leather axe masks 👍🏼
This axe is also good at hacking up cannibals and mutants. :)
Lol , nice The Forrest reference
Agree
lol
Pro tip: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Leo Samir Definitely, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
If you brake it..... you just send them an old one and get a brand new axe, cuz it’s got 25 year warranty
Just purchased one today, holly this thing is dangerous sharp as f...k unreal and so light
This punches way above its weight class. I’ve split some series rounds with it. Like the “hateful” jab in the beginning 😂.
It’s truly an impressive little splitting axe!
Hello! May I ask if you are planing on reviewing CRKT Pack Axe any time soon? Than you for the answer.
What do you think of the x-15? I am trying to save weight.
X17 or X25 for splitting wood? I already have X7 for small pieces
these days i car camp and buy bundles of pre-split wood at the store or gas station. for splitting stuff that's already partially broken down and bone dry, the x17 is great.
I have the x7 to and was wondering the same thing which one did u end up buying and how much difference is it between it and the x7 ?
Off topic, but can I ask where in America you filmed this? It's gorgeous!
The beautiful mountains of Northern Idaho.
@@ReviewOutdoorGear I've never seen anything so beautiful. G'day from Australia ☺️
They are one of the best axes for the money
Agreed
I’ve had my hatchet from them for a while and I’ve beat the snot out of it, I’ve even chopped deer ribs with it and it just keeps trucking.
Nice! Will you make a mask for the council Camp Carver?
Yes!! We have it, coming soon!
Kind of fun that X17 could be a knew particle that could be the 5th force in particle physics.
Pants please! I spend a lot of time in the woods and those britches look right up my alley. Make and model anyone?
They resemble GFB splitting axes and hatchets.
Do you sell a black sheath for that axe?
We could make you a custom if you request it with email as soon as you order.
Cheers Mate!
I wanna see a movie where that axe is transported back in time to the year 856 a.d. at a viking village.
They would just toss it into the ocean 😂
