I got an X10 recently, nice to see what it can take. If it breaks as in your test it still would be possible to put a wooden stick inside the hollow handle and continue to use the hatchet. Or to glue the two pieces together after sliding a stick inside the two pieces. ( I hope I explained understandable, my english is weak...) Thank you for the test. 👍👍👍
I did that; 8mm rebar steel all the way to the axe head, filled with epoxy glue. A bit on heavy side, but nigh indestructible 😁. Still stock unbroken handle. Keep mine for longer camping trips and kindling processing. For price, hard to get better one. Love it
Joe is the man!!!!! Thanks bro for doing all the hard work to help us chose the best and toughest knives and axes! Much appreciated, you are doing a great service for the outdoor community! Rock on brother!!!!
Thanks a lot JoeX! As I said for the X7, I'm really impressed by how tough these Fiskars are. Under normal wood working/processing circomstances, there is no way one can break them. It's even more impressive considering their low price.
Fiskars' handle composite is truely something to behold! I made a shorty splitting wedge from my x10. Ihave had countless misstrikes with a 4 pound engineering hammer. Never an issue
I have never been able to break up Fiskars item yet. I've had shovels, axes, knives etc. 30+ years and I've put them through a lot. I'm never worried when I'm working with them.
Great video and once again YOU are the cause of funds being used on yet another tool this time its a fiskars x15 in route to me. Im going to get this model next. Truly gifted and entertaining. Im confident my x15 will serve my family and me for many years.
HA! I was wondering if it would break during normal hits....I did not expect it to. Interesting would have been to jam it inside a log and see if you can lean into it to break it(more like normal use when trying to pry a piece of wood apart) however seeing when it broke...i don't think that just by trying to pry with it it would have broke. Nice!
i got the x 7 version its a tough hatchet but the hollow tube handle is tough but when you chop wood with it that hallow tube handle will hurt your wrist unlike with a wood handles do its a good buy and some what a good splitter its a good lite duty edc woods carry great video joe
Thanks Joe, you really confirmed what I thought. Also with your comment on hickory handles below in the comments. Thanks for testing. An other example are Mora knives, they are good, especially for the price and with a composite handle. Classic looks with wooden handles is not always better or less expensive. Kind regards
That's about 200 overstrikes on a metal pole. Now that's very impressive. And the standing on the handle also. Amazing. It did better than I expected. It is crazy tough, I knew it was tough. But it has passed my expectations. 15:54 killing zombie's 😂🤣 zombie killing machine. Well yeah, agreed, the guys of ZGB , Zombie Go Boom should have taken this harchet to their Ivan head. Instead of the Schrade hachtet that had quite a few breaking when chopping wood. Which it is made for in the first place after all. And which is way harder on the handle than hitting a skull with it. Excellent video btw. 👍👍👍👍👍 👌👌👌👌👌
thanks, this fiskars is pretty cool, and very lightweight! i also thought that it will break much earlier! i would want this hatchet with a spike like on the cold steel trench hawk, that would be very goog vor Zombies!! and more durable like the handle on the Trench, i am glad you liked the video, it was made out of "ok, i am not sure what i will do" -Style!!
@@joex The only thing you might have done before taking it to the metal pole, is hacking into the car door or something like that 😁. This is now one of my most favorite video's done by you. I'm a bit of a fan of the Fiskars. Fiskars and Mora are a great couple to have on you. Mora for smaller slicing/cutting tasks, the Fiskars to do the bigger stuff. Low price, excellent performance. A spike is excellent for zombies yes, but maybe the axe is even better. Have a look at ZGB video's where they use the axe and hatchet. The axe blade goes into the skull easily. No effort at all. Axes are not the fastest of all weapons. But do they have power ! 😁😎 Robert the Bruce was very good with his axe.
@@Ve-suvius i know Robert, he was in "Braveheart" , but i liked Mel Gibson more hahaha, the test with the fiskars was a rush thing, i needed to go to the airport afternoon, but i wanted to make a last video before take off, i have a fiskars x7 at home, which i will propper test when i am back, but the x10 would have perform with wood or car for sure!!! ZGB is cool, i like the Executer..... also hot girl in the beginning.....i did some MORA Videos, the 749 knife, some Mora Basic, stainless and carbon, and the other one i can't remember right now. mora companion is the name, but i need time to sort it out and produce a fine video!!!! greets
@@joex Hollywood movies are too often far from the reality. Too bad. Robert split the skull of an English knight right through his helmet with an axe. He was a strong man. The X7 is a great little tool. The X10 would have a little more impact given the heavier head. Mora Companion carbon I like a lot, along the Mora 711 , and the Mora Bushcraft Black. All carbon. Do you fly for your job? ZGB is cool. Lately not much happening. they used to be entertaining. Yeah the girl was nice. But one girl , Kathy, died in a traffic accident . Someone with alcohol and driving killed her?
@@Ve-suvius ohj wow, i didn't know that (ZGB), no i was just a passanger, have to sort some stuff out, had a 2 week filming period, now i am editing the material, also doing smaller videos where i am now (those with the blue colour in the back) not more to say.....
I like the Fiskars Hatchet.. but what about the Cold Steel Smatchet..? If I toss it.. can you catch it..? Do you think El Bricko can Bash it..? Do you think the Iron Rod can Smash it..? It is not a machete.. or a hatchet.. it is the Cold Steel Smatchet!
Awesome channel my friend,, I love seeing these videos! If you ever got the chance to get a Worktuffgear Nomad Camp Knife to test out it would be greatly appreciated 🙏
@@joex There's a newer 'Norden version' which has part composite handle and part hickory. Haven't seen anyone abuse test them yet. So rather than the X10, it is the N10 version. They're a little more expensive though
Moral of the story, dont fuck with a dude who has a gas mask on, he has way more stamina then you do, the "hammer" side CAN be deformed (i found one with it mushroomed badly) but im sure its hard to mushroom it
@@joex Im genuinely suprised how long you were able too whack without stopping and taking a breath with a gas mask on, never tried a gas mask but i can imagine its kind of air flow restrictive
The handle 'wood' break after a couple of hits against the steel pole. There's a video of a guy comparing a hickory steel axe vs the Fiskars. The Fiskars takes more than 200 hard overstrikes, and keeps on going. The hickory handle broke after three stikes into two pieces. And it was a good handle before he started that striking.
who would pay 5 or 10 times the price for a swedish made hickory handle axe when this might last you forever with no worries of a loose head or breaking on an over strike when youre in the middle of nowhere? but if you did break it...you cant repair it. hmmm.
Only complete idiots try to damage a good hatchet by continuously hitting it against a steel barrel. Having plenty of money just to show that a even fiskars could be damaged if you try to very hard. Under normal circumstances it wont wear out or break even if you hit so hard as you can...

no your english is better than mine, i agree, its totally repairable/reuseable!!

@@ApocGuy Well now your axe will hold forever. But how did you break the handle?
Joe is the man!!!!!
Thanks bro for doing all the hard work to help us chose the best and toughest knives and axes! Much appreciated, you are doing a great service for the outdoor community! Rock on brother!!!!
u are welcome bro!!!
The irony of the story is that when he splitted the handle of x10 he made it to be x5 =D
Yeah!
i had done the exact same thing, i have a beautiful x5 from an x10 because i liked the weight but i needed a short handle... :)
🤣
Thanks a lot JoeX!
As I said for the X7, I'm really impressed by how tough these Fiskars are.
Under normal wood working/processing circomstances, there is no way one can break them. It's even more impressive considering their low price.
i like it too!
Better than I expected. The steel is soft but takes a good edge very easily, a very good hatchet.
Yes indeed!
I been beating the crap out of this hatchet for 14 yrs and its still works great. Looks like crap but will chop. Will never let you down...
i totally agree on this one!
Fiskars' handle composite is truely something to behold! I made a shorty splitting wedge from my x10. Ihave had countless misstrikes with a 4 pound engineering hammer. Never an issue
cool!
Excellent video! I have the x7 and it's been a trooper for years left to rust in the weather and sun
I have never been able to break up Fiskars item yet. I've had shovels, axes, knives etc. 30+ years and I've put them through a lot. I'm never worried when I'm working with them.
ok cool!
Greatest axe ever made,, much better than the wooden handled rubbish,, 👍
I keep emergency stuff inside the handle,, 👍
cool!

cool! awesome axe!
Nice test , I really like my Fiskars Hatchet now I love it!
cool axe 4 sure!
@@joex proud of mine I love it good price too! 👍🏻😁
We need Your tests, dont stop bro
Respect
🧐😮...WOW, that Fiskar's hatchet 🪓 stood up to Massive Abuse ‼️👍
yeah it is awesome!!!
I have that hatchet and this test convinced me that I have good & quality hatchet.
cool!
Excellent videos! Subscribed.
This axe seems insanely tough....do you think the x7 would fare the same?
yes i tink so, i have the x7 as well and it looks solid!!
HA! I was wondering if it would break during normal hits....I did not expect it to.
Interesting would have been to jam it inside a log and see if you can lean into it to break it(more like normal use when trying to pry a piece of wood apart) however seeing when it broke...i don't think that just by trying to pry with it it would have broke.
Nice!
Thanks! During the test, i did not know what else to do! I was thinking that it will break during the iron rod, the rest was improvising!
En otro vídeo la x10 se mella bastante más en la barra de hierro que la x7, hay alguna diferencia en el acero?
Buen vídeo!!!
si me gustaria el X10!
i got the x 7 version its a tough hatchet but the hollow tube handle is tough but when you chop wood with it that hallow tube handle will hurt your wrist unlike with a wood handles do its a good buy and some what a good splitter its a good lite duty edc woods carry great video joe

thanks, yeah Moras are awesome, so this Fiskars, esp. for the price!!!!!!
Well darn.
I was hoping to buy 12 and use them for steps to my deerstand.
I guess that's out.
Great hatchet though.
good idea! u can also kiall with it!
Best hard testing channel on RUclips!
cool, cheers!
Amazing test! Unbelievable resistance for a cheap hatchet. Funny video!
thanks!!!
Do we have data on what type of steel that tube is?, its taken a lot of abuse over the years, clearly a quality item.....
i dont know!
Tough hatchet! Awesome trumpet playing with the handle lol 👍.
thanks, i am a musician!! haha
Fiskar sellings went sky high after this video.
they should send me a check! haha°
A Fiskars hatchet with a Gerber Strongarm and Cold Steel machete and you survive the apocalypse with no problem.
yeah, and some GUNS!
@@joex Most definitely!

That hollow handle makes the weirdest echo.

true!
I cannot believe how much abuse the pole can take!
yeah, it is from another plante, aliens brougth it here!
