I’ve got a council hatchet I keep in the truck and loan out as needed but the small forest axe from gransfors (or any of their products) is what you seek. I’ll never sell mine. 
 

if you are on a budget the husqvarna and stihl offerings are decent too along with the aforementioned council.
 

Few coats of boiled linseed oil on the handles and you are good to go. One coat every day for a week. One coat every week for a month and one coat every month for a year. 

Yep, I believe the Gransfors is the way I’m leaning. Just bought a new lawn mower, so that took priority.

I have no need for an axe . . . . but dang it! now I want one of these!

You can get into some old axe heads pretty cheap at yard sales, then rehandle it yourself. I have a ton of axes, most all of them were heads that I acquired and put handles on. If I was buying one it would be Gransfors.
