Fiskars 10" Brush Axe with Safety Sheath - Fixed Handle - Black/Orange

I've used many types of hand blades... Machetes, hook blades, bill hooks, kukris, and numerous others. Many people have a preferred handle type. This is MY favorite blade. My original one still has the FISKARS name in the plastic handle. The only thing changed is the orange portion of the handle and the GERBER name (on the blade). It is perfect for cutting small brush, limbs, and even softwood trees. The forward facing hook helps to grab and throw cut pieces out of the way. The balanced nature of the blade to handle also relieves the pain acquired when swinging a machete for hours. The blade is coated with a non-stick coating, after the initial bit is worn off from the edge, it reveals how incredibly sharp it is. Great for small branches and sturdy brush. I've even lengthened the handle using the handle's eye as a bolt hole. Great Blade at an honest price.

I have owned or used many types of brush axes over the years. This one is special. I'm not sure what makes it cut so good, but man does it. I even have another one made by another brand with exactly the same size and shape of blade with a good sharp edge, even the same little hole. It doesn't even compare to this one. I highly recommend this brush axe to anyone looking for such a tool.

Love my Hand Held Bush Ax

odd that the handle end is not capped.

This product is awesome! My only complaint is if you use it a lot, the paint comes off the handle.

this blade is sturdy and has a good weight to it

Availability and best price for what I was looking for!

Well made. Perfect size. Very happy with product.

Good cutter blade. Would be better if the hook tip would embed in firewood logs like the hookaroon.

The other Fiskars cutting tools have been sharp enough to use out of the package. This Brush Axe wasn't sharp at all and needed paint removed before sharpening the edge. It works well here in the East Texas Piney Woods on under brush and vines. Unlike the old machetes with the tip curved at the tip the hook end does keep smaller brush from rolling off the end.
