I'm curious about the different brands of axes and hatchets out there. How does the Estwing compare against the rest? Is the Fiskars/Gerber handle as tough as the want me to believe it is and how well does that chisel-shaped bit do at it's task as a cutter? Are any of the axes or hatchets out there real competition to the Granfors Bruks?
Any sizes, any uses. I know it's a broad topic, but I'd like to cast as wide anet as I can with this discussion. I am building a house in the mountains of Coorado for when I retire in a few more years and I gave away a lot of my outdoor equipment when I moved up here to Alaska. I have tended to travel much lighter up here moving around in the Alaska Bush as I have. I'll mainly use my axes for camping/hunting as well as for firewood gathering.
