The Fiskars shovel has a cutting angle of 35°. The convex shape of the blade strengthens the edge to make it less susceptible to breakage. It has perfect balance between head and shaft for the safest, most comfortable and efficient use. The new grip improves user safety by providing greater control in use. It also helps deliver more power, due to less focus on holding the axe. This improved underhand control helps focus on swing speed rather than holding the axe. Its new structural grip adds friction and removes moisture between the upper hand and the shaft during the swing, giving better control. The ax has a lightweight and durable FiberComp handle, which minimizes fatigue and makes the ax virtually unbreakable. The covered end of the handle prevents the ax from slipping. Fiskars L-X21 Splitting Ax is ideal for splitting medium logs, 20-30 cm.
