My favorite single bit axe is the Hudson Bay style. It is 3# with a 28 inch handle. Been a great companion on hunting/fishing trips as well splitting wood at home. I choke up on the handle and it serves well as a hatchet for splitting kindling.
Fits nicely in scabbard if so inclined.

Recent activity with the axe this fall. Stove and fireplace wood pile.
