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.
Common Questions (5)
Not necessarily. Multiple orders were reported as out of stock, with estimated ship dates ranging from mid-August to mid-October, and one order was later cancelled because the model was discontinued and no more stock was coming.
Several long-term owners call it a stellar price and say they would buy it again in a heartbeat. The axe is also described as durable, easy to swing, and a big upgrade over heavier splitters.
The X25 is described as having a 4 lb head, while the Black 28" Splitting Axe is a different model with a 2.5 lb head. Some listings appear to mix these up, so it's worth verifying the exact model before buying.
It can split most firewood very effectively and is praised for handling years of regular use. The main reported exception is very tough knotty spruce, which may still resist it.
It can work for car camping if you want to split a lot of logs, but it is better suited to frequent wood processing at home or on land than to typical casual camping. Its 28-inch-plus length gives better leverage than shorter axes.

Even Home Depot says Finland.
I suppose that if China is a problem, go over to Home Depot, instead.
