My favorite axe of all time is the Gransfors Scandinavian Forest axe. It is the holy grail of my collection, anyway. It is about the size and shape of a hudson bay axe. I remember the first time I hefted a Norlund axe. I was just a kid, and chopped down quite a few trees with it. It was addictive to swing and chop. The Gransfors feels even better, with a little more heft to the head, and a better hollow grind that really sends chips flying.

My forest axe was made by Tobias Thelin. Here is he, making them in the factory.

My son and I both carry a wildlife hatchet in our packs during hunting season. Great for building a warming fire, building a quick shelter, or chopping a brisket. They are so sharp, you could gut a deer with one.
Sorry so many replies... you said the "A" word.

I bought this for an all around tool and it gets a ton of use. From driving stakes, to breaking concrete, to splitting wood. It isn't for packing around but it is amazing around the camp, house, or back of the truck.

I have been looking at them, have to lock it up to keep, kids, camp buddies, and others from trying it out. The Gransfors look really good.

For a budget Scandinavian axe, I've never had a single complaint about my fiskars, bought mine back in the late 90s, still a good quality axe, I've heard the steel has changed a bit since then....
The only reason hy I don't have a GB axe.... Well, an axe isn't part of my daily life, at this particular time in my life (means I don't have a woodstove or a need to split wood), but I've been wanting one for years, every bit of research I did points to GB being unmatched in quality
Definitely on the want list, and will get a GB when. My cabin gets built
