Overview
A coated steel blade, insert-molded into a nylon and fiberglass handle, gives this Fiskars tool the chop of a hatchet and the reach of a machete. Swing it through underbrush and small wood, then slide it into the included sheath for carry.
Light weight and a blade that cannot work loose from its handle make this an easy tool to swing through a long clearing session. Its compact blade covers less ground per swing in tall grass or dense thickets.
Who it's for
Yard cleanup along fence lines, trail upkeep and campsite prep suit this short chopper. Someone who needs a splitting axe or a long sweeping blade for grass will find it too compact.
Pros and cons
- Light enough for one-handed swinging
- Blade cannot loosen from the handle
- Non-stick coating resists rust
- Sheath included for safe carry
- Short blade for tall grass
- Not built for splitting logs
- Title and specs disagree on blade length
Performance notes
Cutting power comes from swing speed, and the light composite handle lets the head move fast with little effort. Edge sharpness and the non-stick coating decide how cleanly the blade passes through green wood without binding, so a dull edge shows up quickly as glancing blows.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the Fiskars Brush Axe overall?
The specs list 19 inches long by 2 inches wide. The title mentions a 10 inch curved blade, but the specs and description both give the blade as 9 inches.
Is the Fiskars Brush Axe a splitting axe?
No. Fiskars describes it as a hatchet and machete combined for ripping through underbrush and wood. It is a light chopper for clearing, not a tool for splitting rounds.
Will the Fiskars 78606935J blade rust?
The blade carries a rust-resistant, non-stick coating that also helps cuts move smoothly. Storing it dry in the included sheath protects the coating.
