I'm looking for a small forest axe with 19 inch or so handle, and a 14 inch hatchet for my son and I. He is ready to move up to a better quality than what he is using now.

Council Tool, Grunfors Bruk, or equivalent....

If  you're around raleigh tomorrow, 3 vendors at the show(Jim Graham Building) had Hults Bruk in various sizes if you'd like to handle them first. Pricing appeared MSRP. I have a Hult's Bruk Swedish surplus axe and enjoy it.
