Nice bucksaw Echo, I have seen them in Scheels Sports, I am sure there are less expensive other places. Can anyone help me with finding a less spendy one ? I have a single bit axe,a double bit axe, and a tommahawk now.

Don't like axes much even though I have used them all my life chain saws cross cut or bow saw better than an ax I have only used double bit made leather covers for them to keep kids from falling on them they are dangerous Have no idea what brand just what I could get at hardware store thin one blade for chopping other more blunt wedge shaped for splitting if going to get smaller ax would be one of the Roman style hunters axe made of Sweden's stainless steel ax head looks like it could be used as a ullo for a camp knife.

My favourite axe is my classic Hultafors Forrest axe which was hand made in Sweden.
Why I like it is that its is big enough to make short work of camp duties but small enough to get it into my pack and light enough to carry.
As you can see I also carry a swedish packsaw.

I have decided to buy a Husqvarna axe and field test it. I am much more comfortable with a knife than an axe. I have a few hatchets - Two Boy Scout's by Bridgeport and 1 Boy Scout by Plumb. My Dog Leg WSK will out chop them any day of the week.

An axe has it's place....but daymn....saws are easier for gathering cooking wood.Last edited by mountain1; 07-26-2011, 12:13 AM.

for limbing up trees, cutting wood for the campfire, and general camp chores. it's hard to beat the gransfors bruks forest axe.
i LOVE mine and use it all the time. they are expensive, but worth it IMO. i'm going to be investing in their american felling axe soon. i can't wait to drop some trees for the wood stove with that baby... i'm an axe/hatchet freak and love it...

I have a snow and Neally Penobscot Hudson Bay and a Huskavarna hatchet. Larger axes include a keen Kutter 31/2 lb felling axe and a 2 /12 pound swampers double bit on a 24 inch handle

i have an Eastwing campers axe. A lot of trappers in Alaska carry these and their life depends on their equipment so I decided to give it a try. No complaints so far.

One of my favorites is a Wetterling Mini- I have a GB Mini, and it is a lovely little thing, but the Wetterling mini got it right- it is JUST BARELY big enough to do real work, and it is a good splitter, unlike the more-expensive GB. It cuts better than the Fiskars/ Gerber mini too.

I have an old craftsman axe, but I pretty much prefer the hawk and a saw.
