Emmanuel's appear to be side axes; flat on one side and used for carpentry. Is yours a side axe?

Thanks Atlantia for posting this. Yes, it is a side axe. It is completely flat on one side.

Axes mostly. I find it interesting that most were used for day to day usage, livelihood, etc., but people grabbed what they had for battle, and so often it was an axe. I have found small axes in the oddest places, the strangest being a rummage sale for 25 cents. This latest was given to me by my parents, so it has more than just historical significance to me.

Only historic axes, or current era also?
Like racing axes? |
