Tool. And rather crudely made. The 'side axe' offset is good for woodwork, but makes it a terrible weapon.

A nice piece with some serious age to it, hand forged with wrap around construction. I would call it a camp axe or bag axe.

It could be a butcher's\slaughterman's axe. These often had a poll that was designed to be struck by a mallet thus enabling the blade to be placed accurately. Rather like a woodsplitting axe.
I'm not saying it is - just, could be. Best wishes Richard |

I would say it's a blacksmith made carpenter's / roofers hatchet with what might be a newer "adze eye" (square) style handle made to fit. Not easy to tell from the photos.

I came across this the other day. Shows what can be done with a sharp lathing axe.
Sorry about the music. Regards Richard https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4uarkKxJkZs |
