Quick Overview

The Italian axe dates back to the days of Italian merchant power and dominions. It is a sprightly decorated piece that is very light and ornamental. The large Italian Axe is 20 1/2 inches long. This decorative axe is made in Italy.


They typical use for an axe is to split and shape wood and chop down trees, but in the past they have been used in was, like the Neolithic and later battle-axe and throwing axe. Early stone tools like the hand axe were not hafted. The first true hafted axes are known from the Mesolithic period where axes made from antler were used that continued to be used in the Neolithic in some areas. Axes made from ground stone are known since the Neolithic. They were used to fell trees and for woodworking. The earlier Neolithic axe blades were made by first knapping and then grinding a stone. By late Neolithic times, sawing became common. This allowed a more efficient use of the raw material. Axe was also an important part in the Chinese weaponry.
