I have one of these and have been real happy with it. Got it in 2006 or 2008, keeps a good edge and like you're looking for, great for limbing. Good luck

Yeah, already bought one.
Now, if I want someone to help, or take something with me on a trail, or do I have to explain further why I want a limbing axe in addition to a chainsaw, bow saw, machete, string trimmer, and trimmer blade. Really? I swear some of you are liberal politicians in disquise.
That's reasonable, they have great reputation. H80, is that a good choice? The Huskie may be stocked locally at a dealer.
Thanks, that looks like it will solve most of our clearing problem near the house! I just ordered the Pro model, I'll keep you posted!If you are clearing a path or just want to get a bunch of small trees out of the way, something like this is very handy: http://www.pullerbear.com/. I've used a different brand while building mtn bike trails (I think they're orange) but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
Fiskars has a lifetime warranty. When ours broke in half, they just asked for a picture of it. Had a new axe within one week. Customer service was great.Fiskar tool are great until the fiberglass handle breaks. Not replaceable. (Now all the guys who've had one for 25 years will chime in that the handles never break. Trust me, they do.)
Excellent! I wasn't aware of that. Wonder if their loppers carry the same warranty. My old True Value ones are getting tired.Fiskars has a lifetime warranty. When ours broke in half, they just asked for a picture of it. Had a new axe within one week. Customer service was great.
This thread has me wanting a nice axe. Suddenly my no name regular axe won't cut it anymore.
