For kindling a Japanese carpenters hatchet has worked well it has good steel and you can get it shaving sharp.

I keep my eyes out at junk store and garage sales for hatchets
and axes. Many of the older ones are better quality than what you can find at the big box stores. Especially with no handle I can get a nice axe head for about $5 bucks usually.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
