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.

  • The X25 splitting axe can handle most wood and can split tough knotty spruce only with difficulty.

  • The longer 28-inch length provides better leverage than shorter axes for firewood splitting.

  • The X25 model can outperform other Fiskars axes during camping firewood processing.

  • The X25 can feel easy to swing and can reduce the work compared with heavier splitters.

  • Fulfillment can be delayed because customer support reported out-of-stock status with mid-August to mid-October shipping estimates.

  • The X25 listing details can be inconsistent because model variations may change head weight between configurations.

  • The axe's weight and length feel awkward for two-handed use for some users.

  • Orders can be cancelled and refunded if the manufacturer discontinues the X25 and no additional stock arrives.

I did not pay attention to see if they already charged the credit card before shipping out (as most of other online stores). I need to go back to double check on this and if it already charge then probably just dispute and cancel the order.

If so, we all need to file complaints and report this matter to Better Business Bureau (BBB), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), State Attorney General, and several social media channels, etc.

They've borrow our money for free without paying any interest! Free loan!

I got that email at the end of July. Called them today and sat on hold for a bit before the rep said that the item has been discontinued from the manufacturer and they will not be receiving any additional stock. He got my order cancelled and refunded and was very kind, but this was an absolute mess.

As noted above, it's in stock on website, which seems inconsistent with the "discontinued" narrative the rep gave to the prior poster. IMHO, they'll say anything to make the problem go away. Right now, it says Sept 13th delivery. I think I'll hold out a little longer.

Just got the email that my order has shipped too. I have the tracking number from Fedex but just at label created (no tracking available in Fedex site). Was beginning to doubt if it will ever ship. Let's see if they actually ship something.
