The camp Axe you describe that you have now is what I call a hatchet.
The requirement to get a camp Axe used for splitting wood depends greatly on the type of wood you will be splitting. The fiskars and eastwing are very good axes but suck at splitting hardwood with knots. I will give anybody on this form 20 minutes to split a piece of Oak from a crotch ot with a knot in it with one of those axes. Don't mean to be negative but we heat with wood now and ever since I was a youngster in Iowa. Didn't get a gasoline powered log splitter until 1984.
Nack on toppic, if you a popping Tamarack apart, a double bit axe will do just fine.
Here is my current line up.
