Description

Fiskars’ Norden splitting axe N12 can be used for easy splitting of small logs with a diameter of up to 20 cm. Due to the shaft size, the axe is ideal for two-handed use.

Fiskars' Norden axes are the perfect combination of tradition and latest technologies. Inspired by Nordic axe-making traditions and Fiskars’ long heritage of axe craftsmanship, the axes have ergonomically curved wooden handles that give them a natural, classic look and feel. Made of high-quality, FCS certified hickory wood, the handles also feature an innovative FiberComp over-strike protection that makes them virtually unbreakable. The over-moulded head-shaft connections keep the axe heads securely in place, providing additional safety in use.

The axes’ ultra-sharp blades, made of high-quality double hardened carbon steel, ensure optimal performance. The blades are finished with a special anti-friction coating that prevents them from getting stuck in the wood and protects them from dust and dirt. The axes’ functionality is enhanced by their perfect weight-distribution and advanced blade geometry. The axes were awarded with the Red Dot: Best of the Best prize in 2019. The Norden axes are made in Finland.
