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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiberComp shaft and SoftGrip handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-friction coating and secure head connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXSharp Axe and Knife Sharpener included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/garden-hand-tools\" style=\"color: #2B00FF;\"\u003eGarden Hand Tools range\u003c\/a\u003e from Heavins.ie, with delivery available across Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-hardened forged steel blade\u003c\/strong\u003e - holds a sharp edge longer than standard steel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiberComp shaft\u003c\/strong\u003e - virtually unbreakable composite construction with overstrike protection.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWider splitting blade and wedge\u003c\/strong\u003e - suited to logs 20-30 cm in diameter; blade releases cleanly after impact.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-friction blade coating\u003c\/strong\u003e - reduces drag in wood and guards against rust.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUndetachable head-to-shaft connection\u003c\/strong\u003e - the head cannot work loose during use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftGrip zone\u003c\/strong\u003e - oversized, strategically textured grip with hooked handle end for added security.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXSharp sharpener included\u003c\/strong\u003e - two-stage pull-through sharpener with 20 and 40 degree sharpening angles.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eXSharp carbide and ceramic stages\u003c\/strong\u003e - medium grit (600-1,000) suitable for axes and knives.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinnish manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e - designed and made in Billnäs, Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBundle contents: Fiskars X28 Splitting Axe + Fiskars XSharp Axe and Knife Sharpener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe total length: 710 mm (28 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe head height: 6 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe head length: 16.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe head thickness: 2.7 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpened edge length: 8.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe handle length: 65 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe total weight: approx. 1,750 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe blade material: double-hardened carbon steel with low-friction coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe shaft material: FiberComp (fibreglass\/nylon composite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxe grip: SoftGrip with strategic texturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended log diameter: 20-30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Grey, orange, and black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpener dimensions (LxWxH): 165 x 45 x 50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpener weight: 90 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpener stages: 2 (carbide and ceramic, medium grit 600-1,000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpening angles: 20 degrees (knives) \/ 40 degrees (axes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpener colour: Black\/Orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: Finland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty: 25 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiskars X28 Splitting Axe (710 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiskars XSharp Axe and Knife Sharpener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade sheath for the axe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fiskars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57682306040181,"sku":"6411501706669","price":61.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/5261\/5816\/files\/heavins-fiskars-splitting-axe-and-sharpener-xms26axe-01.jpg?v=1792571693","url":"https:\/\/www.heavins.ie\/products\/fiskars-splitting-axe-and-sharpener-xms26axe","provider":"Heavins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
