Here is the difference between an axe and a hatchet. (Because there is another thread describing the weapon as an axe.)
” An ax is used to chop,cut or cleave One hand or two. Small ax 3/4 ax, or full size The handle of the ax is curved and made to swing in the direction of the cutting bit on the ax head. A hatchet is made with a straight handle, allowing the use of the cutting bit on one side of the hatchet head and the hammerhead on the other side of the hatchet head. Hatchet, two tools in one. cutter/hammer. straight handle. Ax (Axe), One tool for cutting only with curved handle, to be used in one direction only. Not a hammer tool! The size or the use of the tool does not make it a ax or hatchet. “
