I have commented before that this 50cm axe, although it can be taken with both hands has some security problem, for example: If I try to cut this trunk hitting there is no problem, but if I miss, the axe would go straight to me. With a longer axe this is very easy to solve, because if you hit it well, and if you miss you have more range to hit the ground, if the axe hits the ground it won't hit you. So a bigger axe will always give you more protection, but this one offers you more portability, you can put it in a backpack easier. I recommend that if we are in winter and we need mass wood to make a fire to take the largest of 60cm and in normal situations where we do not have to work so much with wood and we need something a little more versatile, which weighs less or is more manageable to take a smaller axe.
