The Fiskars Norden N12 Splitting Axe is a 19 in splitting axe for one- or two-handed use, made in Finland.

The double-hardened, precision-ground carbon steel blade has a black low-friction coating so it doesn't stick in the wood. The tumble-varnished hickory handle has FiberComp overstrike protection where it meets the head, and the head is over-molded onto the handle for a strong, safe connection. The handle flares at the end for grip, and the axe comes with a recycled leather sheath.

The Norden axe series won a Red Dot: Best of the Best award for product design in 2019.

Fiskars dates to 1649, when Peter Thorwöste was granted the right to set up a blast furnace and bar hammer in Fiskars, Finland, then under Swedish rule. The ironworks went on to make knives, forks, scissors and more than a million ploughs, and the company still carries the village's name.
