Source for the Fiskars 36" splitting axe?

[Guido Salvage]

After seeing the demo video of the Fiskars splitting axe, I have decided to try one out to see how it will compliment my Monster Maul. Being over 6' tall, I need the X27 with the 36" handle. I have called Bailey's but they do not stock them. Anyone have a source?

I'd try Amazon once they become available. That's where I got my 28" Fiskars. I'll be checking out the 36" handled version myself.

So while they are listed on the Fiskar's website, they have not been released for sale?

Yes, from what I understand, they have yet to be released. I checked Amazon and came up empty. Ace hardware carries Fiskars too I believe.

The last time this came up...about 2 months ago...the projected availability date was to be somewhere near mid February

I think this is it, splitting axe 36 - AXES
It has the same number as on the Fiskars site, but it's not listed as the X27?

That looks like the right MFG. # but the pic looks like the regular splitting axe, not the super split.

The ACE axe shows a weight of 6.1000 pounds, the Fiskars website shows the X27 to weigh 6.28 pounds. I think I may just have to wait until next month.

The person I was chatting with on the Fiskars site stated that Amazon would be the first to have them with the expected ship date 1/15/11. She explained to me that once they have the shipment they would need to set it up on their web site. So if this still holds true it should be next week some time.

We will see.

Ace Hardware for the X27

I just ordered hone: an X27 through my local Ace hardware for $49.99, and it should be in next Monday. Make sure you specify Fiskars item # 7884 for the X27.

Cheers,
Bryan

Why would you want an ax that is taller than you are?

I have the shorter version, while I don't think it is the best thing since sliced bread, I really like it. The boys like it alot also. I just purchased the X27 on Amazon. I stand 6'2" tall and think the new handle length will be a great improvement. Yes, I have a gas splitter, but I enjoy the exercise I get with the axe and splitting maul. Should be here next Mon or Tue.

Bailey's has them

I am on the fence about this.

Local Sears carries the 28" Fiskars splitting axe for $40 (and I have a $15 gift card for Sears which means it'd cost me $25). Another store half hour from here carries the Gerber 28" for $30.

I'm 6'3" and worried about the shorter 28" axes, but it's hard to make a decision about spending twice as much for the longer x27 ($55 + shipping online).

Man, I wish I could test drive these splitting axes.

Your local Ace Hdwr. should be your most economical choice on the X27... $50 plus tax.

Bailey's/Amazon ends up at $64 delivered.

I have one ordered through my local Ace. It was suppose to be here yesterday but didn't make it. We'll try for next Thursday. $50 plus tax.

Not sure.
Online Ace lists the 28" for $54. I'd imagine the x27 would cost more

I think the website is still having troubles getting it right. Last week they had the 36" axe listed for $54, but used the wrong picture. This week, there's no X27, but the 28" axe now lists for $54.

You still can get the X25 (28" Super Splitting Axe) for under $40 with free shipping from many places.
