IMO important thing is weight... and decent steel.
I bought a BAHCO HGPS-0.6 - 360
My old axe was too heavy and it was doing in my elbow.

PS. It's worth making a leather cover for the head.... that's the axe head not your head ::)  :o

Ruddy Darter:
@Hawkdancer... The Royal County of Berkshire don't you know...  :D

@Del... That looks a nice axe Del, good price too,
The Fiskar axe I have comes with a plastic carry clip protector. It's a pretty good axe I reckon, but I would like a wooden handled.

I like to work on bows just now, until the November. Its cold enough outside so I don't sweat extensively, but warm enough I can work and now is good time for cutting trees.
