Question 1

On a scale of 1-10, how useful is this super splitting axe against a zombie?

Accepted Answer

With Zombies sometimes recovering from FATAL BLOWS it has always been my practice to follow-up with a GOOD WOOD CHIPPER. AMAZON sells a good 7HP Heavy Duty 212cc Gas Powered 3:1 Multi-Function Pro Wood Chipper Shredder https://www.amazon.com/GreatCircleUSA-Heavy-Duty-212cc-Powered/dp/B075SG6372/ref=sr_1_4?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1538798975&sr=1-4&keywords=wood+chipper This can be very messy but is made easier by cutting section with a chainsaw. I use the STIHL MS 271 FARM BOSS 20" bar.

Question 2

Brand new axe split a dozen dry logs. Corners of blade already slightly chipped. Never hit rocks or hard objects.  Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

I get chips dings and rolled edges regularly with mine. I need to sharpen it after about an hour or so. It performs very well, but I wish it was a bit more durable. I am splitting hard woods and I am don't go easy on it at all. I am happy that the handle has held up even when I smashed it into a log on a freezing cold day.

Question 3

how to replace handle on Fiskars Axe?

Accepted Answer

Fiskars products are warranted to the consumer purchaser to be free of defects in material and
workmanship for as long as the consumer owns the product. Warranty does not cover
sharpening, normal wear and tear, environmental factors, accidental damage, misuse,
industrial/commercial use.

well after a quick look at the warranty 
i think you may only get a replacement if it was shipped that way
if it was wear and tear or anything like that it isnt their responsibility

Question 4

Is the X27 (36" handle) too long for a short (5'2") female?

Accepted Answer

I am 5'6" and I thought this X27 was too heavy and too long for me and returned it. I am a former member of the US military and found this 36 inch long axe very cumbersome and difficult to raise over my head.  I bought a smaller model with a 3 pound head and a shorter handled (28 inches long.)  I can only assume the small and average sized women who are saying this axe is fine are super amazons, which I am not.
