Fiskars X28 Splitting Axe and XSharp Sharpener - Bundle for Log Splitting

A proper splitting axe for medium-sized logs:

The Fiskars X28 is designed specifically for splitting logs between 20 and 30 cm in diameter. Its wider blade and splitting wedge geometry drives through wood with more force than a standard chopping axe, and the flared cheeks help spread the wood apart so the blade pulls free cleanly after each strike. The double-hardened forged steel head is ground using Fiskars' proprietary blade-grinding technique, giving it a sharper initial edge and a longer-lasting one over time.

FiberComp shaft and SoftGrip handle:

The X28 uses a FiberComp shaft - a fibreglass and nylon composite construction that Fiskars describe as virtually unbreakable, with superior overstrike protection at the neck. At 710 mm in length and weighing approximately 1,750 g in total, it sits at a practical size for domestic firewood work without being unwieldy. The oversized SoftGrip zone along the handle uses strategic texturing for a secure hold, and the hooked end of the handle adds an extra layer of control during each swing.

Low-friction coating and secure head connection:

A low-friction coating on the blade face reduces drag as the blade passes through wood and also acts as a rust barrier during storage. The axe head and shaft are joined using Fiskars' undetachable connection system, which removes any risk of the head working loose during use - a practical safety point when working with a heavy splitting tool over extended sessions.

XSharp Axe and Knife Sharpener included:

The XSharp pull-through sharpener is included in this bundle and is designed to work at the correct sharpening angles for Fiskars blades - 20 degrees for knives and 40 degrees for axes. It uses a two-stage carbide and ceramic system with a medium grit of 600 to 1,000. Compact at 16.5 x 4.5 x 5 cm and weighing just 90 g, it is easy to keep in a shed or kit bag alongside the axe so you can touch up the edge whenever needed.
