That would be handy. Utility blades chip pretty easy, or I just get a bit carried away with putting too much pressure on them. I'll have to get me one and try it out. What's your favorite, or does it matter?

Some BIG Elwells (British) on fleabay.
6 & 7 pounders, either felling & wedge types.
Shipping is pricey from the UK (7# is almost $50).
Not sure if they use a normal axe eye size, possibly have to make one.
Still not too bad tho, $100 or less shipped.
