>>168097just make sure it has a hickory handle, sometimes you can find them at a hardware store but where i am i couldnt.
so i use the cold steel(lol) trail boss axe its cheap(35$) and fairly well made compared to /out/s extravagant preference of 100$+ gransford bruks.
a handsaw is also useful as well as a chainsaw blade saw, all can be done with an axe though.
