I'm new to this board, plz be gentle.
No real place around here to go innawoods, probably would get arrested too... But I am looking for an axe.
>splitting small logs

Currently using unwieldly electrical tools, a coldsteel machete and a crowbar. It works, but is far from perfect.
Also, my best friend recently bought a house with a decently large garden that hasn't been looked after for several years, most of the small trees (see pic) and bushes need to go, so a proper axe for each of us would come in handy right now.
He already has a fiskars x5, we're both very impressed with how well it performs considering the size, so I was looking to get an X7, but I'm not 100% sure, maybe an X10 would be better? Note: I have arthritis, so something a lot heavier or with odd balance will most likely not work well for me.
My friend (big guy) is considering an x15 for the heavier work.
Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance!
