that is a smokin deal. Didnt know Sears even carried them. Did you happen to notice if they had the fiskars sharpening tool?
If your talking about the one that has the roller type stone in it, i already have one and it works great. Got it a couple of years ago, from either wally world or one of the sporting goods stores. I didn't actually have to go into the store to pick up the axe, I used the merch pick up area as i was on duty and couldn't leave the ambulance too long...lol...I'm thinking i may have to go back and get the other ox-27 they had(they only had 2 in stock), for that price. Just checked online, and they show 7 of the sharpeners in stock at my local sears for $10.99....

some stores have them, some don't. out here in eatern Ky they do not carry them. i had to pick one up at tractor supply.
Sharpener was available at my sears, i picked one up for about $10.
That's a great price. I paid around $50 for mine from sears.
I believe they have 'price protection', if you still have a receipt, bring it in and they may refund the difference.

In this part of the country, a lot of the hardware stores carry the Fiskars splitters. Ace Hardware in particular seems to have them.

It's more of a PITA, but you can buy it online and select "pick up in store". I don't know how long it takes to go through the system, though.

Worked for me to.
I bought it on line at 8:30 last Sunday night and received a text at 8:30 the next morning that it was ready to pickup.
It seems like a decent axe. I really like the warranty but its not near as good for splitting as my Gransfors maul. I'm 5'10" so the longer handle will take some getting used to. I had it out for a few hours yesterday in some fresh cut Red Oak and Ash. For the most part when I was in smaller clean wood it was OK, but if I tried to split bigger rounds it didn't compare to the Gransfors.

You mean the $175 Gransfors splitting maul?
I'm 5'9", and the shorter handled Fiskars works sweet for me. Split some 28 inch rounds of black ash and birch the other day, and on the toughest of them it took two blows to split down the middle, always assuming one wants to split a bigger round down the middle. Mostly, I work around the edges to make corners and keep shrinking the round. A lot less work that way no matter which ax you use. Anyway, if I want to split it down the middle on those bigger tougher rounds, the first hard blow with the fiskars makes a big crack all the way through, with the second blow taking it fully apart.
I used both sizes before I bought, and the longer handle just didn't work as well for me. There was a slight learning curve for me. As stated before, it's light and you have to get it moving fast and use some follow-through, whereas with a heavier splitting maul the weight of the maul does a larger proportion of the work.
