Bushcraft Axe?

I.N.F.K said:
Latley I realized that I don't have any large blades for chopping, I think I only have a Ka-Bar Heavy bowie which I bent, a Ka-Bar ZK War Sword which I hate, and a Bear and Sons Gold Rush Bowie which is okay. But I have noticed that my CS Norse Hawk Mod out does most of them. So I was thinking that an nice decent quality and size axe would be a nice one up. I do have a couple old axes but they are all full size and I don't want to haul them up mountain sides. I tried to find smaller heads at my local "good" antique stores and flea markets but with no luck. Anyways I know Wetterling is supposedly on of the top picks, but there has to be more. I have always wondered about Condor and Council, so what say you?


P.S.
I'm trying to keep it under $120

Council makes a great boys axe that is a great value. They make a standard one and a fancier Forest Service model I believe. I have used one for years. :thumbsup:

it seems that the bushcraft axe has a steel tang , right?

No not usually.

Full steel axes are usually used for demolition, building/door entry, or smaller hatchets.

A full steel tang axe is less efficient at chopping, and unnecessarily heavy for something you plan to carry around and use in the woods.
