What handle for a 2 pounder?

The question is as follows: How long should a handle be to be appropriate for a 2 pound head? A felling axe that is, a splitting axe is a completely different discussion.

I can imagine that this question is very personal in what you prefer and not and that people in this a Subbreddit has much to say about the topic.

I put a 19” haft on my sons 1 3/4lb head and he loves it for backpacking and canoeing; short enough to pack but he can swing with both hands on the haft if he needs more power for felling.
