The idea of a "jade axe" sounded so fascinating that I googled (images) it. I couldn't find anything specifically from Taiwan, but there are some really beautiful pics of jade axes. Here's one from China. Some of the Olmec jade axes are really fantastic (albeit from another part of the world entirely).

And a whole bunch more jade tools and artwork. I honestly didn't know that jade was used as a tool stone. Makes sense though.
