Can anyone recommend a quality USA-made camp axe at a reasonable cost, say, around $100 or so?
This is a little off the point of your thread, but Marbles axes appear to be made in the same El Salvador factory that produces Condor knives and axes.

Comparison: Marble's Camp Axe / Condor Greenland Pattern Hatchet

I have recently bought a couple of Condor products that are very well made. That said, I can't argue with the advice to go for a leather-handled Estwing.
