Do you have a camp axe? A hatchet? Do you know the difference?

I don't have one, but have it in my head that I need a good quality one, so i'm off learning about axes. I thought those here might be interested as well.

Edit:

Another good resource: https://www.gransforsbruk.com/en/axe-knowledge/using-an-axe/different-axe-models/

I disagree.

You buy a tool, do you go to harbor freight and buy some cheap china-made shit that's probably going to break on you? Or do you want something made by white people who care about quality?

I haven't had stuff from Harbor Freight break any faster than shit from Home Depot or Lowe's. Shit like SnapOn is far too expensive for what it is, even if it does last longer it's not worth the extra expense.

But either way, that doesn't require obsessing about pointless specifications and memorizing arcane terminology.

to each their own. I enjoy the learning. Why a straight-handled axe vs a clawed one? Why hickory vs. poplar? What difference does the head make for the different functions of the tool?
