I Need and axe (around 14") or an hatchet i am not sure the correct term but i dont need it to do a knifes work because i am going to pair it with my Game warden from busse so its primary job would be chopping and clearing brush.

Price no more then $100.
Size: no more than 20".
Job: chopping, and clearing.

I was looking at thr fiskers, its cheap and good reviews, but people say to make it a good chopper it so modify it. i dont have the skills or tools to do so, but i was looking at thr GB wildlife didn't hear much about it dose anyone have any words for the wildlife.
 
Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe answers your need. It is like the biggest hatchet you could possibly swing, one handed. Two hands work fine, too, when more power is needed.
 
What do you mean by clearing brush? For a campsite? To blaze a trail?

A good light axe like the fiskars or wetterlings LHA will be good for cutting firewood or poles for shelter. Both the wetterlings and the fiskars are in your price range.

This type of axe can be handled one handed as well as the Small Forest or Penobscot, or they can be handled two-handed, better than the SFA or PB.

PS, I am in no way affiliated with the above company or website, they just have some of the best prices on these products.
 
Snow & Nealley looks good and prices great.. May have to try them
 
AFAIC, S&N is the finest AMERICAN axe you can buy.
A lot say GB is better, but they cost twice as much, and some have had problems with how thin their bits are. Excellent for very hard woods, but not so great on softwoods.
Iltis Oxhead are said to be very good and their forest axe (28") is said to be the best axe on the market for both felling and splitting.

I just like going with made in the USA if I can get a good product.
 
Here is a pic of a nice iltis/Oxhead limbing axe. It is a really nice size ,bigger than a hatchet smaller than a full size axe. The steel and heat treat is beautiful ,it rings like a bell. The handles are often not as good because they are sourced here so it is something to look at.


I have a Modded CS norse hawk and Scrapyard SS4 as my main bushcraft combo and it can do everything. I think you will love the Game Warden hawk/hatchet combo as well.
