[QUOTE="Mustang71, post: 6669326, member: 146252"] From 6 years of hand splitting I can pretty much tell if the wood is going to split with an axe or a wedge. The x27 is a decent axe and the stuff it wont split is usually twisted or knotty. I would buy a fiskars maul but it doesn't make sence because if it wont split with a x27 then it needs a wedge or a saw cut and a wedge to "pop" it. I went from an 8lb sledge to a 10lb sledge and it's a work out. Well the wife thought it looked easy. She found out swinging a 10lb sledge and splitting with a wedge is not easy at all. That being said I'd rather swing a x27 than a isocore maul for an hour. [/QUOTE]
