I am looking for a budget winter camp axe along the same lines as the GB scandinavian forest axe. So far I have found two axes that seem to be fairly good at inexpensive prices, a helko and a hultafors. I know many people will recommend getting a GB , however GB more than double the price of these axes and I am not sure that I would get double the value out of it? I already have a Wetterlings equivalent of the wildlfe hatchet and an Argos hatchet.

The only thing is that I would have to make a mask for the Hultafors which I have never done before, but it can't be mega difficult right?
Anyone have any experience or views on the budget end? Thanks in advance
