So my mom still buys us older adult kids Christmas gifts. She always wants “ideas” and if you don’t you get something dumb! So I’ve seen Thea X27 and all the rave reviews. I never bought one because I don’t like how the hollow handle looks and that I can’t attach a new one. Well I stuck one on my Christmas list for mom. I tried it out today on a half cord for myself.
The short story is I’m impressed. If the thing has good longevity I’m all in. I put it in the dirt a few times because it slices so easy. I believe the weight is perfect for power and conserving energy. The shape of the head is slim to cut like an axe, but wide enough to split. We will see how long it take the head to come off, if it goes 20 cords that’s a win for me. I really like this thing so far and I’m hard to please.
How do you guys keep the edge sharp on them? I usually run cheap axes so I just use a file on them after every cord I split.
