I’ve used the X11 heavily for about 10 years. It’s been an epic time

Splitting wood between your legs. And in sandals!!! Genius!

I'm glad to hear your opinion/review on this splitting axe. Everyone has different opinions on it

I tape wrapped my handle like a hockey stick. I fount the handle on its own to be a bit slippery. Just twist the hockey tape into a cord, wrap the cord around the handle grip, then wrap the tape/cord with a layer of hockey tape.

❤ Удачи Вам привет из Беларуси Рогачёв у меня Фискарс-х 25 ❤😊

Fiskars makes a 10 buck pull through sharpener and I highly recommend getting one to go with you Fiskars axe, just a few passes with mine and my hatchet will shave my arm hairs.

Here in Canada Amazon was selling them for $118. I tried a new trick. I bought the entire stock and then the next one in line was only $59. I immediately bought the $59 one, cancelled the first order and the price went right back up to $118. Shopping like a boss, Rockin.

Amazing how smoothly that goes through those logs. Nice review!!

I have the X25 splitter and it certainly went to war when I had my chinea on the stone patio. However I had some glancing blows that ended up damaging the patio and the axe. Good news is I get to buy a shiny brand new splitter.

Great looking axe Arron, thanks for the review!!

If you are driving up and not worrying about the weight I would get the 36 inch splitting axe or the X27. I have the 36 inch super splitting axe and I am pretty impressed. I have 2 wood splitters just some of the logs I have to split this year are so huge I wanted to at least crack them in half so I could lift them to put them on the splitter and figured I would split some smaller stuff with it as well. I have cut up a cherry and a couple ash since I got the axe and used it for all the splitting. The metal is really soft though almost have to sharpen it after every use. I haven't sharpened it yet and its still splitting mostly first hits but after the first 2 logs there was burs all over the edge. I only paid $25 for it though so can't really complain. Walmart has them on clearance as well as the mauls.

I've got the X10 which is the same but in the chopping version and I'm always amazed on how deep it bites into wood and performs clearing branches ...considering buying an X7 though for more detailed work as the X 10 is quite heavy.

The X11 appears like it’s too long for a hatchet and too short for an axe. I’m going to go with an X7. I do appreciate the side by side comparison though. 👍

X7 or X11 for making kindling from pre chopped firewood? Are the grades of steel the same? Thus is being kept at home so portability doesn't matter

Great review. It's good to see different gear getting reviewed.

Jezz I I didn't realize your channel was this small I was expecting a much bigger sub count with the quality care you put into your videos good job

Good video! Looks like a good option to stash at the "secret" camp! Really like how you do things, man!

Say Heah Aaron, you just proved that a hatchet/axe can make kindling, sure for a beginner a large knife might be safer, but I see how well you can use a hatchet for kinding just as easy if not easier and as safe. So many axe and hatchet's out tgere, and I'm sure tge Fiskar's is a good one, but I have (3) beater Estwings, and I mean beaters, I can even baton on the handle and tgey just go on ticking, so until I need a new hatchet, my Estwing Campers Axe is a good one, when I go scouting a new area, I like to carry my three cutting tool's on person so I go Lite, I could carry my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet, my Rodent 5, and my Wicked Tough Saw on my survival belt very conveniently, That's where bigger is better when chopping, but I trade of size with convenience so I choose accordingly. If I need to process alot of wood I could see that Fiskar's to be tge right size, but to make some kinding for a small fire to warm up some food, my Double Bit Hatchet is the one I carry.

Great video. I've misplaced my x7 looks like I'll replace it with the x11!

Great seeing axes on GT!

1:38 that technice is best using a chopping style axe/hatchet.

the old safety sandals

Hello I have an x27 and an x17. Now I want to take a smaller one. I break the wood for the stove. What do you recommend the x11 or the x7? Thank you man

I have this now but I think I need x27 no? I want one splitting axe to rule them all

LOL. Iv been watching a couple of your vids, and I like em, but I was wondering who this Palmer guy was. He must own the company that makes all the plastic details on the gear... Well, I finaly got it. Its not easy being from Sweden sometimes.

I have a combo of axes the X11 and the X5 from Fiskars (and a X27 for use around the house)- Have you tried the X5 yet? A really good little handy camp axe, that comes with a nice nylon sheat, so that it can be placed in your belt. I use it when I go fishing and I can have it in my belt while driving, so its really mobile. Actually the X7 fits in the sheat from the X5, the head is the same size but the handle on the X5 is shorter than that on the X7 axe

You're the only one who knows how to properly pronounce Fiskars...Everyone else I've seen says "fiskers" as in wiskers. And you do know what you're talking about.

Nice axe. I just bought the x27. But watch your hand while chopping. It looks quite dangerous.

Thanks real video real chopping

Would you mind giving me a quick comparison between the X11 and the Schrade SCAXE2L? I have the X7 (Awesome!), but need the splitting capability. Which would you choose! Thanks in advance!

I miss the commando music.

Don’t know why they just don’t sell the x10. Guess I’ll just get it off eBay

Great review .. Really helpful!!

Awesome review! I'm loving the axe reviews! Keep them up!

good video

I see reviews saying it’s 2.2 lbs and others saying it’s 2.7lbs can you clarify the weight?

Great review as always, did the edge roll at all during you're camping trip.

I like the axe heads but hate the handles when it breaks you are screwed

who the hell splits wood like that?

hey Aaron I finall6 found a granfura bruks small forest axe for a great price and bought it. you think it's a good axe?

Fiskars x11 vs old school wooden handle axe?

Hmmm. Base camp yes, not a bushcrafter carry axe. Mini-splitting axe or a mini-splitter maul. The axe handle is far too short for the weight of that axe head, and the throw of the axe. Unless you want to do batoning, it appears to be more heavy than productive use, although compact, you will be the one using more calories than production of split wood. It is an oversized heavy hatchet, that makes this whole idea not intelligent. Everybody in the knife, hatchet, machete, axe, and maul sector are making all kinds of hybrids, when the ancestors knew what they were doing. Maul at base camp for making large to medium wood splitting. Axe (single or double bladed) for felling lumber or medium to small wood splitting. Hatchet for small to smaller wood splitting, no felling tree trunks or limbs, only branches. Knife for smaller to firewood and tinder making. Machetes and such for brush whacking, rain forest and jungle brush, not felling, chopping, or wood splitting. This is a hybrid, and should go back to a longer handle, and then it will be a maul, and rightly so. So it is a mini-maul, if you want to properly use it as such.

are you an Expurt?

But how does the plastic handle extreme cold weather? Like 32 on lower?

Sadly, a Gransfors Bruks would make the Fiskars look like a child's toy. I do like Fiskars though and nice they made this in Finland, rather than outsourcing to China for $1.25/hr labor like other stuff they do. I personally run a US made Estwing with a Lansky sharpening puck and it seems to run alright, but not so good as the others, though the full metal construction it'll last longer, even if you abuse them by throwing them. The plastics and wood will break.

What is your advice on choosing the x7 vs x11 For beach camping?

watch +wranglerstar and look at his fiskars vid and see what5 happens

which do you prefer the x11 or husqvarna 13 you reviewed?

Can you please do a review of the Fiskars x10

the perfectly axe/

It's anything but cheap in Australia. Sets you back about $90!

Try to broke fiskars ax by hand

Sub'd!

Between the legs + in sandels *:-D*

Say Heah Aaron, A $64,000.00 question, That Fiskar Hatchet or the Estwing Campers Axe. Oh, Estwing Came out with a nice nylon sheath that fits wider belts.,,.p

lol sorry but i canceled at like 1:40. wtf is happening there? is there any logical reason for splitting wood between your legs? i mean, i have like a million for NOT doing it that way. just look at the 3rd try. of course the wood flies away. there is nothing to get stuck on and to withstand the power of the blade impact. are you sure your back enjoys this stance? 1:40 gave me the rest. see ya guys
