Outdoor splitting terms

Splitting axe, axe split and split wood axe phrases are best compared by head wedge shape, handle length and product photos.

Are axes and tomahawks the same thing?

What details should I compare first?

Start with head shape, handle length, total size, finish, included cover and whether options must be selected before checkout.
