The North N12 splitting ax from Fiskars follows the tradition of Nordic ax making and is an ideal tool for splitting smaller logs. The finely crafted hickory wood handle looks and feels natural. Thanks to the FiberComp impact protection, it is also practically unbreakable. Crafted in Finland, the Norden N12 combines durability with perfect weight distribution, advanced blade geometry and an ultra-sharp edge to achieve peak performance. The carbon steel blade has an anti-friction coating that prevents the blade from getting stuck. It also protects the blade from rust and dirt.
