Combining a deep heritage in axe craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, Fiskars Norden N12 Splitting Axe (19 in.) offers optimal performance for splitting logs. Allowing for comfortable 1-handed or 2-handed use, this axe is crafted of the highest quality materials. It features a first-of-its-kind tumble-varnished hickory wood handle that is flared at the end for improved grip and control while FiberComp overstrike protection and an over-molded axe head deliver the strongest, safest head and shaft connection. Its double-hardened, precision-ground carbon steel blade stays sharper longer and a low-friction blade coating keeps the head from getting stuck. Like every Fiskars axe, this log splitting axe employs perfected weight distribution, advanced blade geometry, an ultra-sharp edge and a durable design. Includes heavy-duty sheath for safe storage.
