"I know it's an old thread, but maybe it will be a timely resurrection for someone, my choise it's Fiskars Chopping Axe like this . It's very comfortable in work, so I work with them a lot. The axe is suitable for felling trees thanks to beneficial weight distribution and innovative blade geometry.
If we speak about cons it's: great weight distribution, shock-absorbing handle, weather-resistant handle material, sharp blade edge, it feels durable and lightweight, affordable price.
Of course there are a lot of other good axe but i liked this.
