Need advice on my first axe or hatchet

[Square_peg]

I've recently started camping and last time we spent too much money on firewood. I'd like to be able to get fire wood from downed trees or at least get some small branches to toss in throughout the night. I really don't want to spend more than $75.

Get a Tajima G-Saw 240 and an import hatchet from the hardware store - $50 total. The saw will be your wood getter and any little hatchet will serve fine for stripping bark and splitting small firewood. Spend the savings on a 10" or 12" double cut file to keep the hatchet sharp.

So can anyone recommend some decent boys axes? Does Husqvarna make a good boys axe? I'm looking at one now that looks like a good size.

Personally I would go with a boys axe from council tools if not doing a restore of an old axe. Husqvarna doesn't produce axes, they contract them out. I believe hults bruk produces their current line.

Sounds right to me.

And even though Husqy doesn't make their own axes they are pretty decent value for a good axe.
