You certainly can't go wrong with any Gransfors Bruks model. I own a couple and have owned a half dozen in trying to find what fits my needs. I ended up with the American Felling axe and the Small Forest axe. The big axe is great for felling trees or clearing a section of tree from the middle of a trail. The small forest axe is perfect for delimbing those trees, and makes short work of kindling for the camp fire and splitting small logs. For Serious splitting in camp of large logs, I use the Fiskars X27 Splitting axe. The small also straps nicely to the side of my pack for excursions out in the woods that will last more than a day or two.
The prices at Duluth seem right in line with current pricing although you can find most of what they list for a few dollars less if you shop around. I'm not sure about the shipping charges.
I encourage you to spend a couple extra bucks to support a brick and mortar when able or possible.
Don't overlook House of Blades in Fort Worth, Texas. They carry a great selection of Gransfors and occasionally will have hard to find models. They are also BF members, you can contact them right here for questions, and the service is some of the best I've ever experienced, online or in person.
