If you are looking to get stocked up on firewood while the winter season is a distant thought and you need a splitting ax, the Fiskars X27 Super Splitting Axe is a great choice. I recently invested in this new axe after getting a free load of log rounds from a friend and I can't recommend it enough. It is super sharp, relatively lightweight, nicely balanced, and splits like a dream. So if you need a new axe as part of your resiliency tool set (for those with wood stoves and outdoor wood fired ovens), take a look at the Fiskars line of axes.
