    I ran into this video on a Fiskars site. What do you guys think? It seems to true but I wonder why not step up to the x27 if you can handle it? Pssst... I'm 6 feet so I would at least need the X25.

    In my area they just carry the Fisksrs splitting axe, not sure what the difference is between that and the X27, but it is the spitting axe is 36" same length as the ISO core. I'm 6' and length just right for me. I wouldn't want a shorter maul or axe.

    There is a 28" X25 splitting axe, which is the one I just got from my secret santa. I am 5'5", so it's perfect for me. I can't do the straight arm raise in the video, LOL!
