axes

Dr Stephanie Brown said: "Knives were omnipresent in medieval society. Axes were commonplace in homes for cutting wood, and many men carried a staff."

Axes created a more symmetrical, oval fracture than the adze, for example.

Axes, maces, a javelin, and a couple swords hang from metal hooks.

Axes hung from their belts and each man had a bow and quiver of arrows on his shoulder.

Just look at the headlines from one day's New York Times alone: "Alarm in Capital as Axes Swing in Growing Post-Acquittal Purge," "Justice Dept. Acts to Ease Sentence for a Trump Ally."
