Probably taking a nice nap under a loaded coconut palm.Doc Brown imagined the Flux Capacitor because he hit his head on a sink after falling off a toilet while trying to hang a clock in his bathroom.

Yeah, but speed holes.One of the dumbest blade things I've ever seen. What a shame that dead dinosaurs gave their lives to fuel making such an abomination. It fits right in next to the other Fiskars products on that isle. I get hives every time I accidently lay eyes on them. These Fiskars designers have lost their minds, but I bet they sell well.

I figured it out. Fly swatting.Yeah, but speed holes.
I wouldn't even buy one of those.This tool is just flat out weird. I'm sure it'll sell to those that wouldn't know a nice tool if it bit em. Not for me.
Next Fiskar I buy will be one of their axes.
Yea, There was a time I wouldn't of either but after a left rotator cuff procedure, right reverse shoulder replacement and losing 35 lbs of lean muscle (95 lbs altogether) due to 7 weeks of chemo and radiation, I kinda have to. I have to make sacrifices.I wouldn't even buy one of those.
Oh I would, and did. My X27 and Isocore have literally split tons of wood over the last dozen or so years. I have over reached countless times (they call me Lightening 'cause I can't strike the same spot twice) smacking the blocks with the handle. Their clippers have gotten a lot of use and their scissors as well. Sadly though, no machete axes hereI wouldn't even buy one of those.
I'm sure FTB will correct me, but that looks like a billhook, which would be very useful.The holes reduce deflection in very strong crosswinds.
I got two of these and one X7 hatchet last winter. Walmart was closing them out. I think I paid less than $30 for all three. I wouldn't give a nickle for those other styles.

Those ones were quite handy, though they were a bit thin/light compared to most billhooks and were more like a billhook-shaped machete. Still a good tool.I'm sure FTB will correct me, but that looks like a billhook, which would be very useful.
About 3 mm thick.Those ones were quite handy, though they were a bit thin/light compared to most billhooks and were more like a billhook-shaped machete. Still a good tool.
Those are the one fiskars tool I have ever considered.About 3 mm thick.
ohhhh... you're that wild Willie...Their splitting axes work pretty well, and since I'm probably the most notorious handle breaker in Western New York I find them good to have around.
