An
axe
(in American English also spelled
ax
) is an implement that has been used for
millennia
to shape, split and cut
wood
; to
harvest
timber
; as a
weapon
; and as a
ceremonial
or
heraldic
symbol
. The axe has many forms and specialised uses but generally consists of an axe head with a
handle
, or
helve
.
Before the modern axe, the stone-age
hand axe
was used from 1.5 million years BP without a handle. It was later fastened to a wooden handle. The earliest examples of handled axes have heads of
stone
with some form of wooden handle attached (
hafted
) in a method to suit the available materials and use. Axes made of
copper
,
bronze
,
iron
, and
steel
appeared as these technologies developed. Axes are usually composed of a head and a handle.
The axe is an example of a
simple machine
, as it is a type of
wedge
, or dual
inclined plane
. This reduces the effort needed by the wood chopper. It splits the wood into two parts by the pressure concentration at the blade. The handle of the axe also acts as a
lever
allowing the user to increase the force at the cutting edge—not using the full length of the handle is known as choking the axe. For fine chopping using a side axe this sometimes is a positive effect, but for
felling
with a double bitted axe it reduces efficiency.
Generally, cutting axes have a shallow wedge angle, whereas splitting axes have a deeper angle. Most axes are double bevelled, i.e. symmetrical about the axis of the blade, but some specialist
broadaxes
have a single bevel blade, and usually an offset handle that allows them to be used for finishing work without putting the user's knuckles at risk of injury. Less common today, they were once an integral part of a joiner and carpenter's tool kit, not just a tool for use in forestry. A tool of similar origin is the
billhook
. However, in France and Holland the billhook often replaced the axe as a joiner's bench tool.
