For all of you that swear by the Fiskar Super Splitter I was wondering how necessary it is to buy the blade sharpener as well. Also where can I get a good deal on one ?

Sen. John Blutarsky said:Did some "real" splitting a few weeks ago. Big 12-18" + diameter oak and maple rounds. After my father-in-law watched me bounce my fiskars off of the 1st round 10-15 times he handed me a 10# maul (he was using his 8#). Splitting on 1-2 swings after that. The Fiskars are useful tools, but they have their place.
Oh wow, how dare you speak blasphemy against Fiskars. Didn't you know that Fiskars descended from the Hand Of God Himself to the holy land of Fin over 4 centuries ago. And be sure to bend your knees when using one, like this:Sen. John Blutarsky said:Did some "real" splitting a few weeks ago. Big 12-18" + diameter oak and maple rounds.

Does your camera shoot video? Let's see some.Bigg_Redd said:I have a a 6lb maul and a 2.25lb Pro Splitter.
I have found nothing that my maul can do that my 2.25lb Fiskars cannot do.
If a Fiskars ain't working then chalk it up to operator error.

FYI, Fiskars only makes "Splitting Axes" and they come in three lengths 17", 23.5", and 28"..... the "Pro" and "Super" are the same length at 28" (and are Splitting Axes)karri0n said:I think that axe in the photo is the "splitting axe", which has a very short handle. The pro splitter and super splitter have longer handles than that.

yes, and scissors and garden shears and saws and water pails, and shovels, and everything else you can imagine. i was referring to their splitting line-up. There are no mauls, only splitting axes.....Nonprophet said:Actually, they also sell hatchets and chopping axes......see here for the complete line up.

I think i know what you are saying. So does the handle length not include the head? since the handle wraps around the head I assumed the total tool length was 17 or 23.5 (even though it says "handle length"). At any rate, we can agree that because it's got a flared head it DEFINITELY isn't the Super splitter and due to it's length it isn't the 28" pro splitter. That being said, I wonder how light the total weight of the 17" is because I wouldn't mind having one of those along on a short packing trip....karri0n said:I was actually going with the ratio of handle to axe head based on the photos in your other post, danno. by that judgment it looks shorter than the 23 but longer than the 17, so I don't know.

Quads,
I'm just curious. You admit that you've never tried a Fiskars, and, that you never intend to, and yet somehow you keep showing up in Fiskars threads with no experience in using one and no intention of ever trying one. What's up with that???
