Our X17 Splitting Axe is an easy-to-handle, easy-to-transport choice for anyone who needs to split small- to medium-sized logs with power and speed. Like every X-Series™ Hatchet or Axe, the X17 combines perfected weight distribution, advanced blade geometry, an ultra-sharp edge and virtually unbreakable design to maximize your performance. This combination of features allows the blade to disperse wood more effectively, offering more one-strike splits with each swing. Since you can split wood more easily with the X17, each job requires less time, less effort and less hand strain.
