The steel in the Fiskars isnt lower quality, it has a different temper and it brittle. It holds an edge very well as long as you keep it out of the dirt and rocks. If you cant manage to do that then you will spend a lot of time trying to keep it sharp. I've had mine for a few years now and have only had to take a flat file to it 2-3 times and its still sharp. It all depends on how you abuse/use it.
Well it is kind of brittle when you split rounds on top of a gravel driveway.
It went through the round right into the gravel. It can be fixed easily with a flat file, I hope.
Did everyone adopt the over head swing with the Fiskars or still using the wind mill over the shoulder strike?
