I'm starting to become more interested in hatchets.
That's where I'm at, too. Hatchets, axes and mauls.
Multi-purpose and formidable tools.
Given a choice of just one blade on a hiking trek, I'd choose my Gransfors Bruks Mini-Belt Axe (12 oz). For an extended roadtrip, a bigger axe goes along. Of the Gransfors Bruks line, I currently have:
Mini-Belt Axe
Wildlife Hatchet
Scandinavian Forest Axe
Small and Large Splitting Axes
Splitting Maul
Splitting Wedge
American Felling Axe
