I just got a Wetterlings SAW13H Wildlife Hunting axe and while I am pleased and impressed, I think I am going to get either a SAW16H or SAW20H also. Any opinions on which is the more functional?

Thanks,
 
They have the same head on a different handle.
Some people prefer the longer handle which allows for a two handle grip. It is the Wetterlings equivalent of the GB Small Forest Axe.
The shorter one is a true one handed hatchet, and fits in a pack. It is heavier and feels much heavier than the GB Wildlife hatchet.

For bushcraft involving quite a bit of felling and limbing, I would pick the longer one. If you will mostly split kindling, pound stakes and do some carving, go with the shorter one.

Good luck!:thumbup:

I'm interested in one of the little Wetterlings, but they seem to be back ordered at most outlets. Where did you get yours?
