  1. @maiyannah They do, but a steel axe lasts generations unless you use it all the time and without skill. I still use my grandfather's axe and the thing's likely from the 50s, probably older. It doesn't get too worn unless I try to chop quebracho or something like that. It also doesn't let you haul even light branches to a better place to work on them. I wouldn't stop in the middle of a snowstorm to spend 45 minutes breaking down wood, I'd instead grab a bunch of branches and drag them to shelter. It's not hard on grass, much less on snow.
