| | An '''axe''' is a tool for chopping [[wood]] and felling trees, based on the [[wedge]]. 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 some eastern [[American Indian]] cultures, they preferred smaller throwing axes. The word "tomahawk" is an Americanization of an [[Algonquian]] word for this small axe. | | An '''axe''' is a tool for chopping [[wood]] and felling trees, based on the [[wedge]].
