I'm about to have a ZC Fireplace installed and I will be buying precut / seasoned cord wood. Most everything should be split already, although I was told there will be pieces I'll need to further split in the load, plus process kindling?

As such, I need to buy an axe. I was looking at:

GB Small Forest Axe
GB Scandinavian Forest Axe
GB Large Splitting Axe
Wetterlings 121
Husqvarna Large Splitting Axe
Fiskars x27

I'm 5'11"

What would you get to split the occasional missed cord logs, and to process kindling?

Don't be blaming the fireplace for not burning that wood very well. Your wood will probably not be very seasoned. Probably split right before it was delivered.
