The Fiskars X25 is a lightweight splitting axe that gets high marks for fast, easy swings and strong leverage on firewood, especially compared with heavier mauls or shorter camp axes. The handle is described as effectively unbreakable, and the axe is said to handle most wood well, with tough knotty spruce as the main exception. The main caution is model confusion, since the X25 and the black 28 inch version appear to have different head weights. Availability also looks shaky, with reports of stock delays and possible discontinuation.

  • Home firewood splitters who want a light, easy-swinging axe because it handles most wood well and stays durable over years of use.

  • Campers who split logs at a campsite because the 28-inch length gives better leverage than shorter axes and it outperformed other axes on trips.

  • People replacing a heavy maul for regular splitting because this style is easier to swing and can become the tool they never go back from.

  • Shoppers who need the axe soon because orders have been delayed for weeks or cancelled when stock never arrived.

  • Buyers needing a specific head weight because X25 listings can vary and the model may not match the weight shown in the listing.

  • Campers who only need an occasional axe because this is better suited to splitting lots of logs than to most casual camping trips.

Did the order ship for anyone? The site says handling time is 1 to 2 days. I placed my order on the 21st and it hasn't shipped yet.
Nope, still waiting for shipping notification on mine...

I placed the order on 6/20 and it hasn't shipped. Product page says the X25 is currently OOS and "Available in 1-2 Months". I believe our orders will ship when the X25 is back in stock

Just called them since I haven't received mine either. Was told that the Item is Out of Stock and they aren't able to ship it at until Mid-August. When asked to confirm, I was told that's the date provided by manufacturer and it might be subject to change.

I'm not really in a rush so I will wait another month.

The concern is X25 axe is no longer in production and is getting replaced with X32 axe. So I doubt that they will be restocked again.

Been wondering if this would ever ship, and losing hope. I think you're probably right.

It's bullshit that a company gets a free loan

So, anyone received at all?

It has been out of stock for a while and the order (when it said that available at the time that placed on June 20) never get ship out at all and the status is stay the same and not cancel nor ship out at all.

C'mon ACME Tools. You can do better than this. They need to update the database and track inventory more accuracy and let customer know if and when the products will back in stock or never ever at all and if so cancel (and refund if needed) the order instead of the purchase order unchanged at all and shitting there for months.

they stopped responding to me, I opened a claim against my CC company as the 22nd will be my 60 day period where I can't anymore. I asked for a final update a couple days ago before doing so. Luckily I have an Amex and their process is pretty easy and they are quite good to work with. I attached all of my emails with them as proof and within 24 hours was refunded.
