Axe recommendations

[Scythe13]

My question for you, what kind of work do you want the axe for, then look at axes that cover those specific kinds of jobs. For a basic all rounder, you'll be compensating by not having a specialist wood splitter, or a specialist tree chopper, or a specialist zombie smasher (couldn't resist haha). So it all depends on what you want to use it for.

Do you have experience with long or short handles? That might effect your choice. What kind of weight are you looking at adding? Will it be used at home, or will it be a BOB or even a GHB item? I recall hearing about someone who used to walk around with 2 axes on his back, but can't remember whether that was real or someone messing around. I kind of hope it was real for the entertainment WOW factor.

Having said all of that, the video of the Tomahawk on page 1 of this thread has made me want to get a tomahawk. But that's more of a man-toy and not a prep.
