Ordered a Fiskars X25 to see what it's all about

[rngrchad]

I split with fiskars. Got them all. I like the smallest one best. The first time I used them my mind was BLOWN. Use them in winter. Never had much luck splitting by hand on hickory, or oak during temps above 30 degrees. Fahrenheit. I only split when temps are below 30, in the teens is the best by far. I cut my rounds in summer stack them then split them following winter.


I was also taught to never over sharpen a maul.

I don’t even bother with splitting small wood like in the LittleLebowski video, as long as it fits through the 10 inch furnace door that’s good enough for me. I do own a Fiskars maul, it’s a nicely made tool but nothing I would brag about, there are lots of nice splitting mauls out there.
