has anyone dissected a gerber/fiskars hatchet?

Budk had them listed a few months back as an axe head. Let me see if I can find the picture!
 
thanks man! you're right down the road from me up here in NoVa.

small internet. :)
 
Not that this has anything to do with the question asked, I had a Gerber hatchet with the hollow handle and mixed 4 tubes of epoxy and then a box of bb's and poured it in the hollow handles. Made it feel more solid.

I bet that got hotter than hell when it was setting up....
 
very interesting. i assumed it had a nice inlet for the glass fiber to wrap around but i wonder what that center deep part is for

thanks for the pic man
 
I have seen them manufactured, it is a fairly simple forging (but very tight tolerances). The shaft is injection molded onto it.

That pic does not quite look like what I remember but close.

Only their Gator branded axes are Chinese in origin, I believe. All their others, including that little Mini, are made by Fiskars in Finland.

Ok thanks for that info. Fiskars has a lifetime warranty so I would think they would take care that. I file the plastic edges down on mine to keep wood form splintering underneath and no problems. I've split 2 cords with my Fiskars chopping axe and no problems yet.
