Looking for a comparison of two axes here from those with experience.
Looking at the Condor Woodworker's axe and the Husqvarna Carpenter's axe primarily.
Condor has a great reputation for value, but it looks like the Husqvarna is only about $5-$10 more, and generally has a great reputation for quality.
The purpose of this would be a relatively portable pack axe for light hiking, overnights, camping, and general use around the yard. Would like to do light felling (probably nothing thicker than a couple inches), splitting and general bush crafting chores here in New England where we see a combo of everything from juniper bushes to oak and ironwood and everything between, so this would have to be a good all around axe. I have absolutely ZERO experience with the wood working axes. Do these type of axes even make good all-around type axes, or am I better off with a more rounded bit?
So what say you who know infinitely more than me?
