Tenderloin in reply to @Nef

I went for a Stihl cleaving axe as it’s better shaped for chopping - two tree surgeon friends said it was a good shout
They also said to go for a wooden handle

Took your advice and bought this.

Didn't like the idea that I couldn't replace the handle in future when looking at the non-wooden handled ones.

Wooden handles are nice, fiber reinforced plastic is generally a lot easier on your hands though. But if you’re not using it all day it probably won’t be make or break.
