Wetterlings Swedish Axe isn't the best I've ever owned, but it is the most expensive. It's a beautiful piece of blacksmithing. It has a beautiful handle. But the design of the head only makes it suitable for light work. I'll use this for prospecting, but it's not good for any real splitting. It's good for light chopping, and it sucks for making kindling.
Right out of the gate, the wedge fell out. I jammed it back in and it lasted another day. Then the wedge split half in two and flew out. Game over.
According to the pimply faced kid at the hunting store, this is the smallest axe / hatchet that meets the requirements for the grueling Yukon Quest dog race. Think Iditarod, only for men.
Now, Les Shroud is one tough SOB, and I think he's pretty much a straight shooter, but his endorsement misses the mark.
I'll stick with my $25 Elgin.

    Git'cherself a Gransfors Bruks axe. They go through green wood like a coked-up beaver and are made extremely well by smiths who stamp their own initials in the steel. And I had a tiny rusty tear in my eye for Buddy the Derp Doggie. He was a good boy!
