? about small fighting hawks

[Park Swan]

Head weight is what does work. Handle weight just slows it down. And a few inches of a wooden handle costs very little as far as adding overall weight. A few ounces would mean very little to a axe from a twelve to a eighteen inch haft and you would gain a lot of power. I wonder how those flat stock hawks would compare in a side by side test with this Council tool "Personal Fire Axe"? It would be an easy decision for me. I would hang it on a rigers axe straight haft and come in at about seventeen inches.

This isn't entirely accurate, it really depends on what type of cut is being made in what material.
