Hey guys I'm sure this has been beat to death, but what axe do I need? I used the search engine and couldn't find any info that pertained to me, so sorry if y'all are tired of talking about this.
I need a do it all axe for when I'm cutting firewood. I don't want to spend much more then $100. I'm thinking a single bit but am not completely against a double. The axe will be used to drive wedges, (if it's a single bit, if y'all turn me on to a double then I'll use hammers like I do now) get my saw unstuck, split firewood, (I have a couple other splitting tools that I like so this isn't a big deal) limbing, and I've always wanted to fell a tree with an axe so I'll have to do that once or twice.
So what do y'all think? I would love to have a gransfors or wetterlings but they are just to far out of my price range. I've been looking at concord brand axes and they look we'll built, their made from hard steel and appear to have good hickory handles on them.
Thanks in advance.
