Which type of axe would you make?????

I would like a nice small axe for carving, kinda like Gransfors, but only a foot or so long.
a 5 inch edge, beveled on both side for left or fight handed use,
thin blade to get sharp and whittle with but yet tough enough to chop out some waste and make some chips.
A nice point on the top edge of the blade to twist out some divots and start a hole,
and a blade that has a little clearance to grip up on the handle and get 2 fingers behind the bottom edge of the blade to shave, whittle or push cut with.
and a little curve in the edge from toe to heel.

not that i give this much thought and I am not to picky,
But this would be nice and do a good job.

That's interesting. It'd be cool to see a sketch or your mental picture!
