I'm 6'4" and was initially concerned about the short handle. However, so long as you let the head lag behind your wrists on the downswing, then release the swing and snap your wrists with your hands low the head will go straight down. If you swing from the elbow like with a heavy maul the arc will continue toward your feet. It all works out, because this speed from the wrist snap is part of the Fiskars formula. It's kind of like a golf swing -- when a round splits just right it's like a perfect 5-iron. Really sweet impact, almost no shock.

Do you keep both hands positioned at the end of the handle?

What do you guys use to repair the cutting edge. I bought the Fiskars blade sharpener, but that really doesn't "cut" it. My blades beat up from a couple of seasons of use and the other day I hit a wedge to make it worse.
