Some guys in the bushcraft world like the old Norlands. Other guys like the Norlund cruiser axes. I have a Norland tomahawk style hatchet. I don't think the steel is up to modern standards. Not real bad, just meh.

I've not seen a lot of talk about splitting axes in the bushcraft world , too heavy to take camping .
Some of the axe threads have plenty of info and pics but I don't think I've ever seen one of a Norlund splitting axe .
Here's a bit of info .
