Trail / Building Axe

[AmateurSawer]

Trying to decide between a Council Tool 2 lb Hudson Bay and a 3.5 lb.Jersey pattern with curved handle for the occasional trimming of walking trails and maybe some blind building or driving pegs.Don't know mucch about a Hudson Bay.Is the extended heel a plus or minus? Thought it would be lighter and easier to carry.Will do most trimming with a pair of lopping shears anda folding saw but thought an axe would be handy to have along.

The Hudson bay pattern is lighter duty than Jersey pattern. The head can loosen sooner do to the shorter handle hole.
