With all due respect, you may have misjudged this. The item is rated 4.3 out of 5 stars which would be a very good item. At least one person that broke it literally cut down a 4" tree with it which is a pretty silly thing to do with a knife made for cutting vines. Nearly perfect items usually have scores of about 4.7-4.8. At least one review says they couldn't reach Fiskars, and I know that to be easy to do.
Fiskars fiber reinforced plastic handles are renowned for being excellent axe handles. I certainly understand and respect if someone prefers hickory, but the plastic is an even better shock absorber. Fiber reinforcing plastic tears up molds, so perhaps Fiskars cheaped out on this one. More likely is that the thin blade can crack the plastic if it encounters large chopping resistance like a conventional axe would see. I believe these are never meant to hit a non-flexible object. It would seemingly excel at things like vines, saplings, palm fronds, and sugarcane. I think Fiskars calling it a chopping axe is misleading and that's on them.
Almost all axes ship dull. I'm not sure if this is due to lowering cost of manufacturing or because they don't trust that people won't slice themselves open immediately, but I suspect the latter. Go look at the serrated Mercer bread knife on Amazon. The review pictures are bloody fingers and stitches. Anybody that owns any axes should have a large bastard file and a stone for sharpening.
Usually owner neglect is excluded from any warranty. I left mine outside and found it like a year later. I cleaned it up with vinegar and baking soda then sharpened it right up. Now, when that junky hollow handle snaps you should definitely claim the warranty.
I have a fiskars splitting maul with a hollow handle. It is hands down the best and toughest handle I've ever had. Incredibly sturdy to withstand many slams into wood. It's in perfect condition and I've split about 4-5 cord.

Does anyone know how their full lifetime warranty works? I have a rusty dull fiskar machete, is it qualified for warranty?

Pretty bad reviews on this. Seems like the handle is just hollow plastic — not good for a chopping tool. Also several said it was blunt dull out of the box.

I don't think this would make a good melee weapon. Think katana or something similar. Something that won't get stuck, that can stab, and that can also slice. Not that I've thought about it at all.
