The Fiskars Norden N10 Chopping Axe earned its Red Dot Best of the Best 2019 award by merging traditional axe craftsmanship with innovative technology, creating a compact 17-inch tool that excels at both chopping and kindling tasks. This premium axe features a first-of-its-kind tumble-varnished hickory handle with FiberComp™ overstrike protection and an over-molded head connection that represents the strongest, safest shaft-to-head bond in axe construction.

Key Features:

  • Double-hardened carbon steel blade
  • Tumble-varnished hickory wood handle
  • FiberComp™ overstrike protection
  • Over-molded head connection
  • Low-friction blade coating
  • Precision-ground cutting edge
  • 17-inch compact length for one-handed use
  • Recycled leather sheath included
  • Red Dot Best of the Best 2019 winner

Specifications:

  • Overall length: 17 inches
  • Blade material: Double-hardened carbon steel
  • Handle material: Hickory with FiberComp™
  • Weight distribution: Optimized for control
  • Blade geometry: Advanced design
  • Coating: Low-friction finish
  • Sheath: Recycled leather

Ideal for:

  • Kindling preparation
  • Small to medium chopping tasks
  • Camping and outdoor enthusiasts
  • Homeowners with fireplaces
  • Bushcraft practitioners
  • Emergency preparedness
  • Compact tool kit requirements
  • Anyone valuing premium tool quality

Benefits:

  • Compact size enables one-handed operation
  • Double-hardening maintains edge longer
  • Overstrike protection prevents handle damage
  • Low-friction coating prevents sticking
  • Flared handle improves grip and control
  • Perfect weight distribution reduces fatigue
  • Virtually unbreakable construction
  • Award-winning design validates quality

Innovation Meets Tradition: The tumble-varnished hickory handle represents a breakthrough in traditional handle finishing, creating a surface that's both beautiful and functional while maintaining the shock-absorbing properties hickory is famous for. The FiberComp™ overstrike protection addresses the most common point of axe failure—the area just below the head where missed strikes can shatter wooden handles. This composite collar absorbs and disperses impact forces that would destroy unprotected handles. The over-molded head connection eliminates the traditional weakness where head meets handle, creating a bond that won't loosen or separate even under extreme use. The double-hardened carbon steel blade undergoes a specialized heat treatment process that creates exceptional edge retention while maintaining the toughness needed to resist chipping.

Precision Performance in Compact Form: At 17 inches, this axe hits the sweet spot for versatility—long enough for effective chopping power yet short enough for controlled one-handed operation when splitting kindling. The precision-ground blade geometry and ultra-sharp edge slice through wood fibers rather than simply wedging them apart, requiring less force per cut and reducing user fatigue. The low-friction coating prevents the head from binding in green wood or sappy species, maintaining cutting efficiency throughout the stroke. The flared handle design provides natural indexing for your grip while preventing slippage during powerful swings. Whether you're preparing kindling for the fireplace, clearing trail obstacles, or maintaining a compact emergency kit, this Red Dot award winner delivers professional performance in a size that's genuinely portable and manageable.
