Fiskars X7 Small 14" Hatchet Axe with Sheath — Forged Steel Head, Shock Absorbing Handle for Camping & Firewood
The Fiskars X7 is a 14-inch, 1.5-pound camp hatchet built around a forged steel head insert-molded onto a FiberComp handle — a design where the head physically cannot loosen or fly off like a traditionally hung axe. The low-friction blade coating keeps green wood from sticking, the shock-absorbing handle reduces jarring on every strike, and the non-slip grip stays secure even in cold or wet hands. It splits kindling and small firewood rounds with one clean swing, packs flat in a car trunk or pack side pocket, and ships with a protective sheath for safe transport.
