As you can see from the diagram above, there are many parts of an axe. In fact, so many parts that I couldn’t list them all in the image. I ran out of space. Perhaps that’s due, in part, to poor planning but I think we can agree on one thing; the anatomy of an axe is complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s precisely what this article is for and it’s all based on the illustration above. I’ll explain the main parts of an axe\u00a0in the paragraphs below. To find see which part I’m talking about, refer to the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more thing; a disclaimer. Not all axes are the same<\/strong>. Not all the parts labeled here are found on every single axe. A full-steel axe doesn’t have an eye like an axe with a wooden handle does, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, the parts of a single-bit and double-bit axe will differ slightly. You get the point. Use this guide as a beginner’s lesson in axe anatomy but remember, the parts differ depending on the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
