Fiskars IsoCore Pick/Mattock

Founded in 1649 in the village of Fiskars, Finland, the brand is one of the oldest companies in the Western world. While famously associated with its orange-handled scissors, Fiskars has expanded significantly into heavy-duty gardening and construction tools. The product shown is a Pick/Mattock, which features their proprietary IsoCore shock control system designed to reduce strike shock and vibration.

Today, Fiskars is a publicly-traded global consumer goods company with a portfolio that includes leading brands like Wedgwood and Waterford. While its heritage and design center remain firmly rooted in Finland, manufacturing is distributed globally to maintain market efficiency. Most of their high-durability hand tools for the International and North American markets are manufactured in Vietnam, though smaller components or specialty lines may be produced in Europe or China.
