An '''axe''' is a chopping tool for chopping [[wood]] and felling trees. In many [[Nordic]] countries, the axe was so common that it also became a [[weapon]], in the form of a '''battle axe''', which could be in the single-edged or double-edged varieties, and would be heaved in large sweeping motions by skilled [[warrior]]s. In [[American Indian]] cultures, they preferred smaller, throwing axes which they called '''tomahawks'''.
