Lots of folks seem to like the Gerber axes:
http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...p;cm_ite=netconI have the Camp Axe, which is probably the one that matches your specs most. I wish its head was a bit heavier. I guess the handle is pretty much indestructable. Mine has held up well so far.
One axe that I've been interested in, but haven't yet handled/purchased is the Snow & Nealley Hudson Bay Camping Axe at
http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/View_Catalog_Page.asp?mi=2519Its WOOD handle is 24" - so right on the edge of your specs - with a 1.75 lb head. $52.50. Its supposed to be a very good brand and made in the USA - which is big for me.
Of course its hard to know whats available in your area for handling before purchase.
