    Machete?

    I wouldn't bother with anything other than a Tramontina. Cheap and need a decent sheath (and sharpen) but they are great. Standard issue for clearing bramble etc where I work.

    How much to spend on an axe

    I'd still go with the Kubben (despite the high price point) for the work described. Great all rounder and packs a punch for its size and weight plus its compact enough to stash in a small bag.

    Many tiny cuts...but worth it :)

    So I sharpened an axe... ouch

    I'd had my SFA for one day and managed to almost cut the top corner of my thumb off, through the nail and that, chopping a few sticks. It's a lovely axe but I remember the awful feeling every time I pick it up:sick:
