You know I've seen a lot of "bushcrafters" argue the merits of one very expensive axe versus a different very expensive axe. They take it pretty serious. I admit it was all over my head.... I always use a maul.

And after using it since my early teens it looks like a Viking artifact that was carried thru a couple world wars. It says 8 pounds but I'd bet it has lost a pound of metal via all the punishment and use it has seen.

But axes? Like Tom Selleck said about poetry in Crossfire Trail: I always like it, never understood it.
