A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. This axe has a limited lifetime warranty. For more information, please take a look at our warranty policy here: https://www.fiskars.com/en-us/customer-service/warranties

A:  this is what I call a camp axe . it is easy to carry on you backpack and a great size for cutting and splitting firewood . it can be used to cut small trees but if cutting larger ones I recommend an axe with a longer handle

A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. Please contact our warranty department (warranty@fiskars.com) and someone will be happy to assist you.

A:  You can sharpen it like any other axe. The trick is that the factory sharpening is not like standard axes for the angle and length making it hard to match so that you will likely change the effectiveness slightly (from a new axe).

A:  I've sharpened the smaller version x17 and that still worked fine after sharpening it. So you could do the same on this one too.

A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. The all-purpose design of the X15 Chopping Axe makes felling trees quick and easy. Blade was designed to bite deeper when chopping and felling trees. With more blade penetration on each swing, you can chop more wood in less time, with less effort and hand strain.

A:  Its good for a medium or small tree without to much effort

A:  That’s a pretty vague question but yes, it’s a great tool especially for its compact size and will keep up with the abuse of taking down trees if needed 

A:  Finland. I believe all their cutting tools are made there

A:  Thank you for your feedback and inquiry. The X15 Chopping Axe is made in Finland.

A:  The sticker on the handle of the X-15 chopping ax states it is made in Finland. It is seriously sharp and keeps its edge. The sharpener is plasticky but does work well on the ax.

A:  The axe I received is made in Finland and is exactly as advertised. There is no comparison with European products which are first rate and those made in China which are really a luck of the draw. Some are good, some aren't worth the price of the wrapper.

A:  No not productly it's not a hatchet but a wonderful all around axe very sharp

A:  Yes, works well with either one or two hands. I usually "choke up" a little with one hand to to make repeated swings easier. I'm 72 years old, but in pretty good shape--would have been easy to use in any manner 20-30 years ago. :-)

A:  No, I think It is better with tow hands.

A:  Certainly! I quite often use it with one hand only (grabbing the handle a little further up) when chopping smaller pieces. This axe in my opinion is great value per money.

A:  Yes. I use it to split wood down at home after it has been split with a longer one in the field. I use it one handed to split kindling, etc.

A:  If your nickname is Sasquatch, you can certainly use this like a hatchet. For the rest of us mortals this is a two handed ax. Be aware this is a razor sharp Finnish blade and one handed high jinks will reward you with serious injury/amputations.

A:  You could use it one handed if you grasp it half way up the handle. But, it's more of an axe than a hatchet.

A:  No! It is purposely meant to be used with both hands. It is an outstanding axe though. One handed use is extremely dangerous. Fiskars does make several outstanding axes with long and short handles.

A:  With due care yes

A:  Good question. Not sure, but I’ve seen it advertised at 3.6 lbs and mine feels about that. The vast majority of the weight is in the head which I’d estimate would be at around 2.5 lbs.

A:  Approximately 3 pounds

A:  3.5 lbs

A:  Thank you for contacting Fiskars. The total weight of this axe is approximately 4 pounds.
