    Hmm. Can't complain about a guarantee like that!

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.

    Well I'm not sure if that still stands today, but a few years ago definitely.

    To be honest I didn't check. But I'm betting it still is, Fiskars is a good company

    I can't imagine how you would break a handle on a Fiskars. I too believe it is some kind of super-tough composite. Wasn't there a video or commercial a few years ago in which someone ran over the handle with a big truck, and no damage?

    How is the vibration of the handle? That is why I have disliked most fiberglass/manmade materials.

    I'm too cheap to pay for a fiskars. They're fairly pricey here in the UK. Wilkinson sword splitting axe, fiberglass handle removed and a hickory one put on. Goes through most stuff a treat, although it did just bounce off some big beech rounds

    There is basically no vibration at all. The handle is hollow, so it mutes the vibration immensely

    It warms youn3 times.
    Once when you cut/split it
    Once when you stack it
    And of course when you burn it



    Just got done clearing blow downs off the field edges. A lot pushed into the tree line don't have days to cut it. Have to get crops in
