Gerber or Fiskar (virtually identical, variety of sizes to meet every perceived need, relatively indestructable, and available almost everywhere). Not that I have one mind you. I'm still using the same "boy's" (2 1/2 lb. head) axe my dad gave me almost 40 years ago when I was in Scouting. It does everything from light felling to splitting kindling and just never seems to wear out. Course it's on its 5th or 6th handle and 3rd sheath IIRC. I keep it in the truck box where it's always handy. The 5 lb single bits seem to spend most of their time in the shed with the chain saw and splitting maul. Never have found a real requirement for a 'Hawk.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
