Cold Steel tomahawks beat anything in it's size range. You can adjust the hang (edge alignment with the handle) by just slipping shims in the eye until it's perfect. The handles are so easy to replace they're basically disposable. The heads are light and thin, which is precisely what you want for pack carry and dealing primarily with dry small diameter wood, and for trail clearing type work. The heat treatments are consistently excellent, and are differential of course. Many models also have hardened hammer polls. You can't beat them at any price. I'll take a Cold Steel pipe or Hudson Bay hawk over anything from Gransfors or Council or any of the rest of them, and I've used any hatchet you can name.
