An axe is a hand-held tool that uses the wedge edge and lever principle to cut and split wood and other materials. It can also be used as a weapon. It is called in Russian Топор(topor). It is defined as consisting mainly of a metal axe blade and a long handle, which is thin and thick, and can focus the force to split objects when swinging. The long handle provides leverage, saves effort and increases the speed of striking. Therefore, it is not only a tool, but also a common cold weapon in history. It consists of an axe or blade, i. e. a metal part, with a cutting edge, a back, some with a hammer head on the back, an eye for mounting a handle, a handle made of wood and most commonly of metal or fiberglass, as well as wooden wedges, metal rings and other fasteners used to fasten the axe to the handle. Historically, there were handaxes for cutting and excavating without a handle in the Paleolithic Age, and stone axes with a handle for logging and farming in the Neolithic Age. Bronze axes that could be cast appeared in the Bronze Age and were partly used as weapons or ceremonial objects, such as the Chinese tomahawk. Iron axes were harder and sharper and became widely used as tools and weapons in the Iron Age. Medieval tomahawks, such as Viking and Knight Tomahawks, were popular for both cutting and breaking armor. Modern firearms reduced the use of the tomahawk for military purposes. The axe became primarily a tool for logging, carpentry, fire fighting and outdoor use. Simply put, the axe is an ancient tool with a sharp edge and a handle. From the hand axe of Stone Age to the modern axe, it is not only a production tool, but also an important weapon. #Топор
