    good grief, nothing will kill your lower back more than digging with a fkin E-Tool. It serves better as an E- melee weapon.

    I have the Fiskars 23.5" Axe and I am thinking about replacing it. It is a really awkward length for me. Right in between a hatchet and a full size. Any misses and it's the perfect length to nail yourself in the shin. I probably just suck at lumberjacking though :/

    Marbles 16" camp axe and Gransfors Bruk forest axe. I got sick of cheap axes using cheap steel that didn't hold an edge, these are both hand forged.

    This is my first gransfors, and I'm absolutely blown away by the quality. The edge is mirror finish, and sharper than any razor I own.. The head is almost perfectly symetrical and well seated on the handle. Handle is beautiful and very comfortable. Also they don't use varnish, it's boiled linseed oil with a beeswax top coat. Also it cuts very nicely, haven't tried splitting yet.

    I highly recommend the Marbles too, it was only ~$25 or $30 but it is a great little axe. It used to be cheaper, but got relatively popular after this video:

    I bring a felling axe when I pack my chainsaw.

    Pulaski with hickory handle and avy shovel pretty much live in my truck 365.

    Those fiskars splitting mauls sure do look fancy, I'd love one for my woodshed....not to split wood with but simply to gaze at when I came in to collect firewood.

    The bush axe and splitting axe I had. The rest I bought after finding 4 unused Amazon gift cards last week when cleaning my closet swapping summer to winter clothes.

    Decided to buy a bunch of Fiskars stuff. Only ended up spend $17 after using the gift cards
