Does it have the carbon handle that wraps around the head?

Fantastic axe. Huge difference.
Bspring said:I sent Fiskars an email asking why their handle was so short. I just got a reply back saying that they had received many comments about that but at this time the 28" handle was as long as they had. They did say that all those comments were forwarded to the engineers in Finland. I would like one but I am 6"4" and my wife is 6'0" so I think it would be a waste of money. Hopefully they will make a longer one soon. The longer handle would add a lot more velocity which is the principle that the Fiskars works off of.

I'll tell ya why. I am only 5'11'', but I have had that ultra sharp little blade come at each of my shins on different ocasions at very high velocity. I am done with that thing till they come out with a 36" handle. I might put it in my truck for an emergency axe. I already made my own version by grinding the heck out of a six pound maul, but I am sure that if fiskers came out with a 4.1 pounder with a 36" handle I would be first in line to get one.

Apiator said:I'm 5' 9" and 150 lbs....not your average lumberjack. Do I get the Pro Splitter (2.25 lbs) or the Super Pro (4.0 lbs). I definitely need a maul of some type and reviews of this thing seem very good.
Thanks.
