Got mine from Trago Mills for the princely sum of £3.45, not sure on brand but it's yellow and does the job perfectly.
If you sharpen with an angle grinder keep a bucket of water handy to cool the head regularly or you'll ruin it.

For my money you need a splitting maul for the big stuff, and a hatchet for the kindling.
Neither need to be good quality, Id rather have something I can leave out in the rain, so for me its a fibreglass shaft for the maul, and a cheap steel shafted hatchet for the kindling, and dont keep it sharp, it'll be more prone to sticking when splitting kindling, and more likely to do damage if you catch your fingers.
You can abuse them for years, and get a Gransfors small forest axe if you want a nice one for other jobs.Posted 4 months ago # -

I was just about to add this. Good advice...
