SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Fiskars Norden N10 Chopping Axe is a premium tool forged for serious woodcutting and backwoods work. Combining classic materials with modern engineering, the N10 stands out as a versatile mid-size axe ideal for splitting kindling, small logs, and general chopping duties. Whether you're at the cabin, deep in the woods, or prepping firewood in your backyard, the N10 is built to perform with durability, balance, and style.
The business end of this axe features a double-hardened carbon steel head, delivering high-impact cutting power with edge retention you can count on. Its anti-friction black coated finish helps the blade glide cleanly through wood while resisting rust and corrosion. The wedge-shaped design bites deep and splits clean, allowing for efficient work with fewer swings.
What truly sets the Norden N10 apart is its handle. Crafted from smooth, sustainably sourced hickory, it delivers a natural grip and responsive feel with the timeless durability of solid hardwood. The handle is reinforced with Fiskars’ FiberComp overstrike protection at the head, merging old-world material with high-tech resilience to guard against damage where other axes fail.
At 17 inches overall and weighing 2.5 pounds, the N10 hits the sweet spot between portability and performance. It's compact enough for one-handed use but packs enough power for real chopping. A recycled leather blade cover is included, offering a touch of heritage styling while protecting the edge and your gear during transport.
The Norden series reflects Scandinavian design principles—minimalism, function, and quality—and the N10 lives up to that legacy. Built in Finland, this axe blends handcrafted tradition with modern-day innovation to create a chopping tool that’s rugged, efficient, and ready for years of reliable service.
