Hi Hacksaw,

From what I have read the Snow and Neally Brand of axes are of good quality, but I have never handled one.

The butt of the axe you linked to has a rather large knob on it, I have only seen these on mauls or picks before, does anyone have any experience with this style? I suspect that unless your hands were very large this size of knob may prove awkward and unconfortable over time.

I also like the look of the Hudson Bay Camp Axe, it is heavier but will do a lot more work for you with the same effort and be safer to use.
