I have an all black version of the X-15. I didnt notice any slipperyness at all with the non-rubberized handle. All thing equal I would get the rubber handled one though.Is there a difference between the orange handle and all black handle? Just wondering because Canadian Tire does not list the black ones as an X but the orange handles do. Thanks
Using my old X27 Fiskars on an unidentified species of wood at the time....
To be honest chipper I absolutely love splitting with a maul and after reading up on the Husqvarna S2800 I think I may just have to invest in one of those. Even though it has a shorter handle than the X27 it won't take long to adjust to it as I've used the shorter handle X25 Fiskars splitter a lot also. At five foot nine either length handle works great for me.Your getting it done, not winning any races, but getting it done.
I think you might want to stick with the DR K10 Rapidfire as it's a bit more productive. Unless your just trying to get a little workout.
I like to split by hand as well, but use a hydro splitter if I have to keep at it for long periods of time, and on the oddballs or the nasty ones.To be honest chipper I absolutely love splitting with a maul and after reading up on the Husqvarna S2800 I think I may just have to invest in one of those.

I have split nothing but wood with it
However last week someone tried to open my gun safe with it after breaking a couple windows and grabbing any cash change and jewelry they could find
They went in my garage and help themselves to my angle grinder pry bars and the x27 witch was sitting next to a 6 lb maul a 8 lb hammer and 3 splitting wedges they must have been to heavy
It did fair better than the safe

Great pics. Did you polish that 550 for the picture?Here's the last larger load I split by hand, but I try to cut and split something every week. I heat with wood, and a pellet stove for help when the temps get real low or when we come back from vacation. This is a nice scrounge load of my favorite wood black locust. I just pulled up to it cut it up and loaded it, brought it home and it went from the trailer to being split to the stack.View attachment 481491View attachment 481492

Funny, just looked at the picture close because I was thinking "their towel" should have been under it, and it wasThat's funny, this is Brett, not Mark lol.
I do however have a towel I set them on when in the truck and when filling, filling, making adjustment, changing chains or bars in the woods. I just don't have them all wrapped up to keep each other warm
Do you smell the towel sometimes just to remember how awesome the saws are?Funny, just looked at the picture close because I was thinking "their towel" should have been under it, and it was
