Fiskars X25 Review 🔨 

🤙

Thank you! I was a sceptic to this plastic thing at first being a wood lover but trying it really changed my mind. I expect that the coating will wear off with time and that it will stick more. So far so good

yeah good combo, I use a small axe(x10 size) for the easy cleaving + I have one by the fireplace so I can make kindling out of the dried wood, sitting infront of the fireplace and just wack away on wood. Love it. Probably have 5-6 working axes and 5 loose axeheads lying around

Yeah, the whole Fiskars X series is really good. I considered the X27 (36inch) but I don't really need that much power for my footlong firewood. It would be overkill for me. Thanks for dropping in :)

yeah the 21 is a bit on the smaller size for me as a splitting axe but should do the job fine on a foot wide foot high logs. Best of luck!

@@MartinWoodStudios Thanks

yeah, I'm about the same height as you and the x25 fits perfect.. To me it's also a matter of weight of the axe(energy/stamina needed) and I feel the others >x25 will be overkill for my normal logs.

@@MartinWoodStudios For fun yesterday I pull the x27 (barely used) hoping it would do better than the x25 on some tight grain Maple. I will be pulling out the chain saw today to cut it up. I was only able to split three of eight half moon shape rounds. I feel like getting the AR15 if ammo was not so expensive! 💥🔫

All supermen has one now 😆

I'm too practical for that, but who knows what might show up here :)

@@MartinWoodStudios You sound like me! lol

This axe is not heavy for a splitting axe and I think it would be a perfect match for you. You have two heavier fiskars axes (I think it's only two), but if you don't make the logs to long you shouldn't have a problem with splitting. In Norway we usually do 30cm logs for our modern fireplaces. If you go for 30cm logs and the x25 your'e ready to go. The axe will last you a long time and build your strength every spring. I've been thinking alot about ASMR videos and are thinking about making another channel just for that. Outdoor Adventures, campbuilding and natural sounds. Now I gotta go carry wood from the forest for next years winter... the cycle never stops until I do. Take care 🙏❤

Your'e welcome! Happy new year 😀

Yeah, it all depends on the log in the end which axe is the right one for the job.

Yeah, best put them in for 400years just in case they solve the aging problem 😀

I recently heard of a prisoner that the judge gave him 400yr for only driving the get away car in Florida. Now I don't know if anyone was killed or not. Unless he had sex with his sisters, mother, grandmother, and dog that was a little excessive in my opinion.

Super thanks! So are you! 😉

@@MartinWoodStudios Aaaay my man 🤙

Most axes are not hardened and the poll will go mushroom. I wouldn't mind doing it on wood or plastic, but steel - not a chance. The poll on the X25 is also smaller than most other axes and looks particulary not suited for misuse. If you are looking for an axe with a hardened poll - this is not it.

Get back on the woodtrack John! Lumber is getting expensive?! How are you?

@@MartinWoodStudios Def blessed to say the least, how about you? Yes i need to get back into it lol.

@@johndow1441 😆 Thats great! I'm reevaluating my youtube channel these days and it's not looking too good.

@@MartinWoodStudios In terms of views or just in general? Because you have a gift man and everyone can learn from you i mean that!!

@@johndow1441 Views and subscribers.. something is deffinately off... I see other newly started channels (25 subs) in my area of expertise, getting much bigger numbers doing the same kind of videos/projects. They grow subs and views about 100 times faster. That is starting to get to me. I have 60 videos they have 3-4.. it just doesnt add up.

I see the humor here Greg and thanks for dropping in. So my Norwenglish might turn some skeletons over in the grave and it's a CLEAVER :) In Norway we call it a kløyvøks... and that means (directly translated) cleaving axe... makes me think of cleavage you know ;). But you probably call it Splitting Axe? My Norwenglish problem is that I never learned the proper translation for all sorts of tools.. yeah, day to day stuff is allright - but there are so many tools and no class for it... so you gotta bare with me brother. The logs are freshly cut soft spruce(I think you call it... needle tree that just takes over everything else) with knots(branches) and sucks to split at times. But my reason for cutting the logs in one foot sizes is that the Norwegian fireplaces, that are very effective(efficient/modern), don't need a lot of wood and they are quite small. Warms up our house perfectly! And let me adress the salesy bit: Youtubing is partly about "selling" your product, video etc... I try alot of different ideas when making videos and this was a review - so people might check it out if they are going to buy one... I'm not gonna get anything out of it though :) I just liked the axe and have done my splitting with it for next winter, this year too.. Check out my "How to build an Owl House" if you want to see a different side/less salesy video.. Take care Martin

not the author btw... or else I wood have called it a splitting axe probably :D

Silence is gold!
