About the Axe

An axe is a chopping tool with a sharp metal head fixed to a handle. People have used it for well over a million years to split logs, chop wood, and clear trees. Swinging it lets the thin blade bite deep into the wood with each blow. Add this printable to a how-tools-work lesson and trace the handle up to the sharp head.

The axe is one of the oldest tools, used for more than a million years.
Its thin, sharp head splits and chops wood with each swing.
