Looking for a high quality axe

[Tritium]

After watching this video, I want this axe. I don't need it but will buy one eventually.

I don't have any specific axe to recommend, although I can say I've been happy with my vintage axes and to some extent a Council Tool base level boy's axe once I got the handle replaced and to my liking. I just watched this video, and it seems that one approach for making your selection would be to study the geometry of the axes you are considering, then choose according to what fits best. The video may help. Still, an axe that doesn't have the geometry you want, can be modified towards that. Also, keep in mind that it is possible that you will want more than one axe. I kind of like having a choice for the job at hand.

Hello,
I am looking for a high quality well made axe. The kind of axe i can tale care of and it will last forever (minus having to change the Handel eventually).
I haven't been considering Gransfors Burk or Adler. I have some gift cards that would allowe me to get either. One of them is Amazon so I could get any other axe on there as well.
I am looking for something that will allow me to fell trees, cut already felled trees, and some light splitting would be nice although I already have a maul so that's not as important.
I will mostly be using it when camping. Being able to perform some bush craft with it as well would be great.
I know this is a tall order, but does anyone have any suggestions?

That sounds like you want more than just one axe. I have 3 on the way that can do the work you want done. CT FE8, CT camp carver and CT Hudson Bay belt hatchet. Should be here today and UPS Thursday on the monster FE8.
