Fiskars X27 vs Husqvarna S2800

[mn woodcutter]

I bought one to try based on spikes review when he first got one. The fiskars gets used but sparingly. I am,used to the short handle now so it doesn't bother me.

Ok just keep tempting me!

My thoughts exactly.

Just remember when Fiskars first put out the X27 everyone said it was strange too. Don't dismiss this because if it's handle. Trust me.

Ok ok! I'll pick one up next time in the city! Haha

Full disclosure I like the feel of a 36" handle myself. But this (the S2800) is a more effective tool so this is what I'll be using until something better comes along.

Is it about the length of an x25 ?

its 2-3" shorter than the x25.

I love the x27... I really like the S2800 just wish the handle was 32-36" long. it is more effective than the X27 imo.

You guys would definitely make fun of my accent lol.

No, no, no. We are all much too respectful for that.

My thoughts exactly...he needs to put up a vid, then let his peer, or should I say beer...jury...render the verdict.

I have the x25 and the x27, haven't used the 27 much and it feels strange to me. That's funny because the 36" axe doesn't feel that way.

Yes.

They are both good axes in their own right. The myth that a 8lb+ maul is needed for challenging wood has beed debunked! While my 8lb maul has not been tossed, it sees more use now as a sledge hammer than a wood splitting axe. SVK has played with these two for a while (like myself) and l agree the S2800 is a better splitting axe. They are similar with the same high velocity strike design but the S2800 is my pick of the two. The teflon coating is marketing hype.....it wore off pretty quick without any noticable 'sticking' difference.

That was not a good idea ,when you miss and hit the tire the axe comes back at the forehead
