Would it work on the x27 splitting axe? have you used it on one? I saw the comment on axe thickness,but I don't know if this is considered a thick axe

I have the x27 and it works great. You have to tilt the head a bit when running it through the sharpener, but my ax came out razor sharp after a few runs. Wood beware!

I do not know....I only used it for kitchen knifes.....if I can make a suggestion, it would be very difficult to sharps an axe with this device....and also dangerous, because you have to keep in place the sharpener with one hand while you moving back and forward the knife with the other, under the groove of the stone......just heads up

I have used it on my personal x27 splitting axe with good results. The "V" notch in the plastic of this sharpener is plenty shallow to clear the additional thickness of the splitting axe with no issues. This sharpener will maintain an excellent edge and can repair minor dings. If you put a serious gouge in the edge of your axe, you may find it necessary to take a file or grinder to it... case by case basis...

I don't think it will fit, especially if you have a splitting axe. I bought mine for a Hudson Bay from Council Tools. It was a little big for the Hudson Bay but I think it will be too small for your splitter to fit.

No large enough for a typical axe. I had to cut mine to get it to fit. The material isn't the greatest. If looking for something longer than a once a year camping trip i would pass. My blade length is just over 8 inches and it didn't fit.

I do not own the sheath in question because I returned it. I ordered it for a TruTemper single bit ax - 7" hawk with a 4 3/4" edge. The sheath was way too small.

It's honestly about the same size as a hatchet and not terribly different from a hatchet. It's going to out chop and generally out perform something like the fiskars x7, but only because it has more leverage and weight. This is a good tool, if the only thing you plan to do is chop, hammer and kill. It's pretty bad at splitting, not designed for it. If your only concern is its chopping ability, this will out do anything in the under $40 price bracket. If you want to do other things for the same price, get a husquvarna or something.

If it's a milwakee battery configured to fit the newer style lithum tools it should work fine. I assume the "XC" is the bigger 2 hour type battery, dont remember... I would not use this saw without the bigger battery. With a sharp blade it is a great little saw for weekender type projects. Have a spare battery handy.

Yes its a great chopping ax.. but its shorter than a normal ax which I was not used too. A different swing radius. I was trying to fell a tree and it skipped off the trunk and went into my ankle.. I love my ax it is great but I do wish it was longer

You can get approximately a 6" thick piece under the chisel, however the chisel would not cut to that depth. Rarely would I deal with stock as thick. I wish it had a greater back stop travel. If you want to cut deep into the width of a board you have to reconfigure the whole tool.

I'll give it a try, 1.5" bit does seem a bit large for the radius on the corners of the plate. I have not received the lift yet so I'll wait till I get my hands on it. I have a 1.5" forstner bit so that should be no problem. Thanx for the info.

Sorry, the Axess was a gift to my grand daughter, I have no knowledge regarding your question.

Yes, but probably not on all of them. I put a wicked edge on my Gerber Parang and also on one of my smaller inexpensive hatchets... but if it is too large or thick, probably not a good idea. But Hey.... what do I know? I use a stone on my axe and large hatchet, but I'll bet it would work.** please see my comment **I wouldn't use anything particularly large or heavy if you want this tool to last. No replacement elements available from Smiths.

I have this wonderful axe, really amazing balance and also the Husqvarna 20" carpenters axe which is "top heavy". The head is 1.9 lbs I think so you could put a shorter handle on it but the question is why? This small forest axe/ multi use axe is the most amazing axe I have ever handled and a big part of that is the balance.

"NO". If your referring to the hatchet size it has to be: 3 1/4'' from top of cutting blade to the bottom. 5 1/4'' from center of blade to the end of the axe head. Axe thickness can't be more than 2 1/4''. My axe head was 5 3/8'' from end to end and I had to remove the rear rivet to widen the width and extend the length for mine to fit. I like the hatchet sheath and it's very well made. IHTH. Phil

This set is way too small for an axe job. Really. Unless you're talking about removing metal flakes from a bigger file, then I would suggest a good wire brush. You need a good 8 or 9-inch flat file (bastard file) for an axe.

This is a tomahawk and as such is not quite a hatchet or an axe. It will do fine for cutting kindling, but for heavy cutting you'll want a camper's axe or cruiser axe (nearly same size head but handle about 24-30" and about 1 more inch of cutting edge with more weight in the head. For splitting more than a 2" branch for a camp fire it does not have the heft to split larger limbs and the handle is steel and epoxy resin so it's going to be hard on the hands after a few whacks but it's sharp and handy. That said, it's really well made and I love mine for a backpack size GP tool. Hope this helps. This is a tomahawk and as such is not quite a hatchet or an axe.

I did a ton of research on this Baby!!! Before I purchased.. I always do.. One Video in Particular.. this guy has taken it out for two straight years and pounded it into Trees and Branches... And used it as a throwing axe works great for that he had thrown it over a thousand times and didn't brake NO... So this is one Hell of an Axe For the little $$$ it is... So I would have Now Worries in the construction... At all...hope that helps ya!

There are a lot of reviews on this axe so i can only speak from the axe i received. The hatchet side was sharp right out of the box and will make quick work of anything really; of course i sharpened it after the first test because that is just what i do. The spike side however was pretty blunt, I would recommend sharpening that side if you can/are not happy with it; it did work right out of the box just not to my standards. I personally would recommend wrapping it with a longer piece of paracord, if you do a youtube search "how to wrap paracord on a tomahawk" and you can choose what method works best for you. Hope that helps!
