Thread clutter.
$300, choke!If money is no object, Liam Hoffman Camp Axe would be at the top of my list.
It's the right head weight to do real work.
Oh come now, just jokin….Thread clutter.
ESTWING CAMP AXE and it is sitting next to me on a table as I type.Please read entire post! Looking for a lightweight hiking and camp axe. It needs to be light enough to carry on hikes without being cumbersome and, sturdy enough to do any job short of cutting down trees. Will also double as a camping trip axe to go along with my bushcraft knife. Lets see yours and hear your recommendations.
That is WHY you may want to get several types and/or brand names of axes over time. LOLI've seen it called both but, definitely don't want to hike with a full length!
I can't get this to load.For hiking I'd just bring my estwing hatchet but only because it's the smallest and lightest. For a survival axe and the one that lives under the back seat of my pickup I have a fallers axe. It's short enough pack but heavy enough to do real work. Here is an example:
WoodlandPRO Fallers Axe (4 lbs.) with 26
Top quality fallers axe from WoodlandPRO. This axe is specifically designed by Bailey's for logging and timberfalling duties. The Dayton style head is perfect for cleaning out undercuts and the 4 lb square back head will drive wedges with power. We outfit this axe with a straight 26www.baileysonline.com
I agree with this concept for hiking - one for hiking.For hiking I'd just bring my estwing hatchet but only because it's the smallest and lightest.

Is it like this one?A Youtuber that I like to follow is "Gideon's Tactical" did a great review on the Husqvarna camp hatchet. Kind of leaning toward that one now. We'll see, still got some searching to do.
Congrats on your new axe.After an entire day of researching, reading reviews and watching YouTube vids, I finally settled on an axe I think will suit all my purposes. I ordered the Council Tool Hudson Bay 2lb camp axe with 18" handle. USA made! View attachment 899513
This is true!Whatever you get, if you get something of quality, it won't hurt to have it, even if you decide you need to get something else later.
As pictured, I have at least 4-5 axes/hatchets/etc. of various types. I have three splitters (one conventional, two Fiskars), a full sized axe, the BBA and the Chogan hawks, several lighter/smaller hatchets, a Parang, a Kukri and some other brush cutters/hooks/etc. (IMO not near as useful as the parang).
They each have their pros and cons and it is good to have spares.
I have a SOG and if I can find a link and picture of it online, I will put it up for you.I'm looking for something small, light, cheap and MOLLE/belt loop capable for my itty bitty overnight bag with limited straps to play with.
I just saw this.Said screw it and ordered one of these: https://www.knivesofthenorth.com/products/octagon-tomahawk-axe?variant=31046433505373
