I need a good axe. The one I'm using is a full sized axe that I got at Home Depot and quite frankly it sucks. It must be really poor steel because it won't hold an edge and it will be dull by the time you chop up a 4" x 8' log.
Most of the stuff I cut is small downed trees. I chop off the branches and cut into campfire pieces. It's not like I'm splitting big logs or anything. If I didn't carry a large file with me I'd be in bad shape.
A local Stihl equipment dealer sells a good looking Stihl felling axe for about $70. I'm sure it's quality steel but that's a lot of money for an axe.
Where else would one go to find a good axe?
