Axes are hand-held tools for cutting or carving wood and felling trees, though they also find their use in butcher shops. They differ depending on their basic purpose, but also in minor properties that make them easier to use.
Choose your axe depending on what you are planning to use it for
Compact - suitable for camping and hiking. They have a short handle and fit easily into a backpack.
