What is the difference between an axe and an axe?

Axe - characteristics

An axe is one of the basic tools used for chopping wood. It consists of a wooden handle and a sharpened steel obstruction. More than thirty thousand years ago, primitive man decided to join a sharp stone on a wooden handle, thus creating the first axe. This tool is most often used with both hands - for example, when chopping wood or splitting a tree trunk.

Axe - what sets it apart?

An axe is a tool with a steel, curved and slightly wider blade and a wooden handle. Most often it is smaller than an axe and has a smaller handle, adapted for comfortable one-handed work. Axes are often used not only for cutting wood, but also for driving tent pegs. Survivalists also sometimes use them instead of a classic knife. Some of them additionally have a check, a useful m.in. when hiking in the mountains. One popular type of axe is the fireman's axe, often used during rescue operations.

Axe versus axe - similarities and differences

Each axe is an axe, however, not every axe is an axe. Axes are not always suitable for chopping wood, unlike the latter tool. Their names, however, will certainly continue to be used interchangeably for a long time to come - even in professional manufacturer descriptions we encounter the use of both of them. Both the axe and the hatchet require proper maintenance of the blade and handle. Then the tools are able to serve for many years and perform their function properly.
