What is the small notch for on the hatchet blade?
The small notch on a hatchet blade, often referred to as a "hook" or "blade notch," serves multiple purposes. It can be used to grip or hold materials securely while cutting or chopping, providing better control over the task. Additionally, it can facilitate the splitting of wood by allowing the blade to bite into the material more effectively. Some designs also use it for notching or scoring wood.

How do you used axe?
First, axes are not intended to be used as manufactured, but usually need the bit (front portion of the axe) ground down and sharpened. The term "an axe to grind" referred to the common and laborious task of grinding down an axe to make it useful for felling trees. Felling axes have thin bits, as thin as one quarter of an inch 2 inches back from the cutting edge. This allows the axe head to penetrate deeply into the wood with less wedging than an axe used for splitting wood, which should have a wedging effect. A heavy axe used primarily for splitting wood is called a maul. The poll, or rear of the axe, should not be used to strike anything hard, such as a splitting wedge, as the main body and poll of an axe are softer steel than the bit, and the axe can be badly damaged. To fell a tree, a wedge shaped cut, or notch, is made in the side of the tree in the direction you want the tree to fall. If you want the tree to fall to the north, cut the notch in the north side. The notch should be about one thrid the thickness of the tree, although this can vary. The notch helps guide the fall of the tree, but will not make a tree fall north is it is leaning south!. What I have found easiest is to cut a small notch, with the bottom level, and make it bigger by chopping the top of the notch, occasionally chopping the bottom to release the chips. Once the notch is cut, make your back cut on the opposite side of the tree from the notch. The back cut should be slighty higher than the notch. The back cut should extend into the tree until a hingle of wood remains, roughly an inch thick, between the back cut and the notch. Less of a hinge is needed for a thinner tree, and more of a hinge is needed for a thicker tree. Wood is most easily cut with an axe at an angle to the grain, not directly across it. Axes can and should be kept razor sharp. It is a cutting tool.
When did people start using axes?
People began using axes during the Stone Age, around 6,000 to 8,000 years ago, with the earliest known examples being made from stone. These early axes were primarily used for chopping wood and hunting. The advent of metalworking in the Bronze Age around 3,300 BCE led to the creation of bronze axes, which further improved their effectiveness and durability. Over time, axes evolved into various forms, becoming essential tools in agriculture, construction, and warfare.
What are axes most commonly used for?
Axes are commonly used as tools. These tools are often used when a large amount of trees need to be chopped down. The term axes can also refer to pick axes, of which mountain climbers use as aides to keep from slipping on icy mountain slopes.
